MP to highlight funding needs ahead of budget

LYNE’S Federal MP has announced her intention to provide a pre-Budget submission to the Federal Government’s Treasury Department to highlight community and infrastructure funding needs across the electorate.

Alison Penfold MP said pre-budget submissions offer an opportunity to highlight local priorities for funding consideration in the 2026-27 federal budget.

“The Albanese Government needs to hear loud and clear the extent of infrastructure and service challenges across the Lyne electorate,” Ms Penfold said.

“From mental health support to sporting infrastructure to our flood recovery, a gap has appeared between our needs and the funding provided by the Albanese Government.

“By providing a pre-budget submission to Treasury officials, I hope to draw attention to our needs and encourage the government to make funding available to our area.”

Ms Penfold is inviting community participation in the development of the submission.

“I invite local organisations, businesses, community groups, and individuals to write or email with details about the project or need, cost estimates (if available), and how and why the funding will help their organisation and our community.

“I would like the submission to be as comprehensive as possible, and your contribution will make this happen.

Please send your submissions to Alison.penfold.mp@aph.gov.au by COB 14 November 2025.
