Text: Elwyn Davies, community representative
Voiceover: I've lived in the area for about thirty years now. But for me being part of this committee is a great honour.
It's really about us taking ideas of our own and the community forward, but also responsible for dispersing that information into the community as well.

(Katie): It's a creative place, it's an ever-changing place, it's very difficult to be bored in Footscray.

Voiceovers:
(Elwyn): The amount of investment that's been put into this major project is very significant.
(Sarah): How do you pull it all together in a way that makes it happen for all the elements of this community.
(Katie): I think the new Footscray Hospital project is huge for this community. It will make a massive difference for the provision of healthcare in Melbourne's growing western suburbs. And it will speak to our community and it will serve our community for many generations to come.
I'm very proud to be representing an area where we are having the largest investment in a hospital in Victorian history happening.
