How can I help you?

Volunteers provide a critical role in our community - with their hard work, energy and committment.

As part of the National Volunteers Awards, Harry presented certificates and awards to over 40 volunteers.

Without the committment and dedication of these volunteers, community groups and organisations in our local community would simply not survive.

South Morang residents will be amongst the first NBN customers in Australia

Every household, business and community facility within the South Morang site will have the opportunity to connect to high-speed fibre. 

It usually takes 12 months from the start of works before the services are activated.

Not only does the National Broadband Network Company (NBN Co) offer high-speed online access for households, but it will lead to substantial benefits for local businesses and employment opportunities for young people in the future. 

More information on the benefits is available here. 

Jobs and community services, schools, health reform, the environment and support for the disadvantaged.

Harry works hard to ensure that the northern suburbs of Melbourne gets its fair share of benefits.  His actions have always been about the local area and how Labor can improve the lives of the residents of Scullin.

New Resource building and gymnasium at St Clare's School

A major building project is now complete - a new Resource building including a children's kitchen and two learning spaces, as well as a fully equiped art room, and a new all weather gymnasium with a full sized basketball, netball and volleyball courts.

New learning environment for Meadowglen Primary  

The new $3.2 million Multipurpose centre is now in use at Meadowglen Primary, providing a new learning environment for students.

The new centre includes 6 classrooms and an open learning area with access to ICT, and was built as part of the Australian Government's Building the Education Revolution (BER).  They replace the relocatable buildings teachers and students previously worked in. 

Almost every local government and non-government school is benefiting from the Building the Education Revolution program.

Here is a full list of the 87 projects at local schools.

Since the Federal Labor Government was elected in 2007, Harry has secured funding for:

Local jobs and the economy - with more than $665 million to stimulate the local region's economy, including upgrades and repairs to schools, social housing units and recreation and sporting facilities.

Health - a new $3.7 million South Morang GP Super Clinic will be built in the rapidly growing City of Whittlesea. The service will include privately and publicly provided primary care services based around a general practice employing 12 GPs.

Local Schools - a record investment of $101.9 million for local government schools to build much needed infrastructure like libraries, sporting facilities, class rooms, halls and science centres.

Community Building - a significant investment in local community development and infrastructure through the Nation Building Program. 

Housing - 34 new affordable rental homes will be built in the electorate for low and middle income families and 53 public houses will be upgraded or undergo repairs, increasing the supply of affordable housing and improving the quality of life of public housing tenants.
