The Allan Labor Government is focused on what matters most to families in Mill Park, delivering real help with the cost of living and more investment in frontline services.
Families across Mill Park love their community sport.
And the South Morang Cricket Club brings together players of all ages and all abilities. This Budget invests up to $200,000 to build two new cricket nets at Mill Park Lakes Recreation Reserve.
Additionally, this Budget will invest up to $150,000 to upgrade South Morang Football Netball Club kitchen and facility upgrades at the Mill Park Lakes Community Pavillion. It’ll mean even better facilities for these clubs and their supporters.
Playing sport keeps kids in Mill Park active and healthy. But the cost of uniforms, equipment, memberships and more means some young Victorians are forced to sit on the sidelines.
That’s why with this Budget, we’re delivering more than 65,000 extra Get Active Kids vouchers for families who need it most. These vouchers worth up to $200 help with the cost of sport and recreation memberships, registration fees and essential equipment and uniforms.
With more vouchers, we’ll help remove the financial barrier for families, and make sure kids in Mill Park get the chance to play the sport they love.
For parents in Mill Park, every dollar counts. It’s why we’re making public transport free for Victorians under 18.
It’ll mean savings of up to $755 a year – per child. With free PT for under 18s, we’re ensuring cheaper school runs, more affordable weekends – and one less thing for families to worry about.
It’ll make Victoria the first state to introduce free public transport for kids and teens, with the investment beginning 1 January 2026.
But costs can add up – especially for seniors. It’s why with this Budget, we’re making statewide public transport free for Victorians aged 60 and over on weekends.
From 1 January 2026, this change will help Victorians with a Seniors Card in Mill Park visit the grandkids or experience even more of our state – without the extra expense.
We’ve helped families in Mill Park slash thousands off their energy bills by switching to solar and making their homes more energy efficient. This Budget delivers more rebates for energy efficient heat pumps and solar hot water systems, so that more families can save up to $400 a year on their energy bills.
We’re also providing energy bill relief to those doing it tough in Mill Park. This Budget delivers a $100 Power Saving Bonus to eligible Victorian households with a concession card, in time for their August winter bills.
Getting in to see a GP is hard – especially one who bulk bills. That means too many families in Mill Park put off looking after their health.
This Budget invests a further $18 million to enable pharmacists to treat even more Victorians with even more conditions – without a trip to the doctor for a prescription. Previously trialled as the Community Pharmacy Pilot, this investment locks it in for good – and makes it even bigger.
That means pharmacies will be able to treat more conditions with medicines usually only available with a GP script – including allergies, nausea, high blood pressure and minor wound care, with more conditions added progressively over the next two years.
We’re also covering the cost of the consult – ensuring families in Mill Park can access care for free.
More apartments and townhouses getting built means more homes for young people and families in Mill Park to rent or buy.
It’s why this Budget delivers $61 million to continue the stamp duty concession announced last year, slashing the price for off-the-plan apartments, units and townhouses for another 12 months.
Previously, the concession was only available to first home buyers and owner occupiers – and even then, eligibility was capped based on the value of their build.
By extending the concession, this investment will mean more homes for families in Mill Park.
This is a Budget – and a Government – focused on what matters most to Victorians.
