“MCEC will become a disaster relief centre on Saturday 4 January, providing transition assistance to affected community members.”
Peter King, Chief Executive, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre:
“We have all been shocked and saddened by the devastating bushfires that are affecting so much of our country. Like all Australians, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) has a desire to help in any way possible.
MCEC will become a disaster relief centre on Saturday 4 January, providing transition assistance to affected community members evacuated from Mallacoota in East Gippsland, including access to food, water, medical support and important disaster relief services.
We will continue to work with the City of Melbourne, the Victorian Government and Victoria Police to provide as much assistance as we can during this time
Our thoughts go out to those who have been affected by these catastrophic events.”
