ANNE STANLEY MP

FEDERAL MEMBER FOR WERRIWA

SUPPORTING THE SERBIAN COMMUNITY IN WERRIWA

For the last 38 years over three days in September, the Serbian Cultural Club has celebrated the Serbian Folkloric Festival at the Bonnyrigg Sports Club.

Labor Member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley MP, today announced that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will provide $30,000 in support for the organisers to deliver the festival this year.

The festival is a highlight on the community’s calendar, showcasing Serbian culture, including food, films and folkloric dancing.

Sponsored by community members, the festival attracts participants from the local community and across Australia with regular visitors from overseas also attending.

This $30,000 election commitment will support hardworking volunteers to ensure another successful Festival in 2025.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.

Quotes attributable to Anne Stanley MP:

“Werriwa is home to many with Serbian heritage, and a vibrant Serbian community that is eager to share and celebrate their culture with everyone in the local community.

“I am proud to announce this commitment to support volunteers to deliver another spectacular event this year.”
