Sunbury electorate infrastructure
Mr J BULL (Sunbury) (09:54): Last Thursday I was absolutely delighted to join members of my local community at a meeting of the Sunbury Residents Association. I was particularly excited to share with attendees updates on the vast array of local projects, literally representing tens of millions of dollars of investment in my local community—projects like the removal of the Sunbury level crossing, investment in the Sunbury Community Hospital, upgrades at Boardman, Langama and Clarke ovals as well as massive local school projects at Sunbury West and Goonawarra primary schools. Questions came thick and fast, but I was particularly keen to point out that this government, the Andrews Labor government, continues to invest in my community, and I take this opportunity to call on the federal coalition government to match this enthusiasm, to find Sunbury on the map and to start to fund some key local projects for my growing community. I can think of one in particular, and that is the Bulla bypass, which is in detailed planning by this government. I again renew my call for the federal government to also put some money towards this terrific project. I am sure members of the residents association would agree with this.
I was also delighted to be able to share plans for the upgrade of Sunbury Road—another critical local project for my community. Many local residents have spoken to me about the importance of this project. Only Labor gets it done in my community.
