An Aboriginal flag now proudly and permanently flies outside Dandenong Police Station.
Police Minister Lisa Neville visited the station with Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams on Friday 21 April.
Victoria Police southern metro region Aboriginal community liaison officer Stewart Taylor said he felt a sense of achievement when he saw the red, black and yellow flag flown for the first time.
“I think it’s extremely important for Aboriginal people from the area to have the recognition that we are a culturally safe space,” he said.
“I think it’s very important that it’s flown.
“Victoria Police had no money to fund that.”
Mr Taylor said Ms Williams helped to secure State Government funding to make it happen.
“We’re one step closer to getting flags outside every police station in our area,” he said.
