I am pleased to announce that the Crisafulli LNP State Government will deliver over $61,600 to our local Kenmore-Moggill Sub-Branch to support a new memorial at Booker Place Park in Bellbowrie, dedicated to the Australian women who have served in the defence of our nation. I’ve worked closely with our Kenmore-Moggill Sub Branch to secure this important investment through our Honouring Our Veterans Grants Program. The funding will support the restoration and installation of a historic Bofors anti-aircraft gun, which will form the centrepiece of the memorial. There is a strong local connection to the story this memorial will tell. During the Second World War, members of the Australian Women’s Army Service supported Brisbane’s anti-aircraft batteries, with the service having a signals camp in the western suburbs of Brisbane. The memorial will recognise the contribution of those wartime servicewomen and honour the generations of women who have followed them, including those serving in the Australian Defence Force today. For our local veterans and their families, the memorial will provide a permanent place to pause, reflect and remember. It will also give future generations an opportunity to learn about the women who served and the role our local area played in their story. Thank you to all members of the Kenmore-Moggill RSL Sub Branch for their dedication to seeing this project realised, and to the Brisbane City Council for its support. #deliveringformoggill #deliveringforqueensland David Crisafulli MP Queensland Government RSL Queensland Cr Greg Adermann
