\u201cPick My Project will make a real difference in these three towns and communities across the state \u2013 giving locals the power to choose the projects their community needs,\u201d Ms Neville said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so pleased that these four important projects will get the funding and support they need thanks to this ground breaking initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through the $30 million Pick My Project initiative, Victorian residents aged 16 and over were given the opportunity to submit their idea for a project or program that made their community a better place to live.<\/p>\n
People were then given the chance to vote for their favourite project.<\/p>\n

More than 230 projects across Melbourne and regional Victoria received funding.<\/p>\n
