Sussan Ley is travelling the electorate promising community projects


Member for Farrer Sussan Ley MP is announcing a series of project funding promises, if the Liberal Nationals Coalition wins government in the upcoming federal election.

Among the pledges Ms Ley said an elected Dutton Liberal Government has committed to deliver upgrades to the Corowa and District SHE Shed – a local haven for women to learn, create, and connect.



First established in 2017 by utilising a generous local’s garage, the SHE Shed opened its doors to a permanent home in Corowa’s western industrial area in 2023 and now hopes to add a mezzanine floor to its facility.

Ms Ley said a $14,000 commitment will cover the majority of an estimated $18,000 project.


Other pre-election commitments announced include:

  • $480,000 to upgrade the lighting around hockey pitches at Alexandra Park, Albury.
  • $230,000 to help the Holbrook Golf Club build new female-friendly changerooms.
  • $180,000 towards lighting, fencing and resurfacing Albury’s St Patrick’s Tennis Club.
