Staff ReporterSouthern Gazette

The Town will provide a subsidy for the centre co-ordinator’s wage of $55,572, with an annual increase by CPI until 2016, and has also increased its annual donation to the centre by $1000 to $11,000 for another three years.

Situated at 12 Kent Street in East Victoria Park, the centre started in 1994 and council began supporting it with an annual donation of $2000 in 1997, gradually increasing to $10,000 in 2002.

The first subsidised wage it provided was $31,388 in 2006 and this financial year the wage equates to $30 an hour for a 30-hour week.
