Melton electorate retail precincts

Mr McGHIE (Melton) (12:42): The last few weeks have seen the Andrews Labor government hit the ground running for another year delivering for Melton. On 5 February we had the shopfront improvement launch celebrating the recently completed works along Exford Road and Staughton Street in Melton South. Melton South retail precinct is one of the oldest neighbourhood activity centres and has been revitalised with refreshed shopfronts and improved lighting, creating a safer environment for traders and visitors.

Then on 12 February over on Scott Street a range of convenience stores, takeaway food shops, dine-in restaurants, bottle shops, specialty retail stores and personal and professional services were repainted and rejuvenated, contributing to a more positive and lively environment. The renewal of Melton South and Scott Street is ensuring the Melton community continues to have local access to key services, shops and amenities within a 20-minute walking distance from home.
