Mildura MP Jade Benham is calling for real transparency and consultation on the future of Mildura’s Alcohol and other drug rehab facility.

The local member says locals in Merbein are becoming more worried about the lack of information about the centre, which will be built on Jenner Street.

She says there is a need for the facility in the region, but the location should have been a community-led decision, while many residents are being kept in the dark on details.

She says Mental Health Minister Ingrid Stitt has been sidestepping community involved in the site selection and set up of the service in Merbein.
