Steve McGHIE (Melton) (10:33): I rise today as it is our last sitting week for the year to talk about some great things happening in Melton. Firstly, four level crossings are being removed, and we are building a new Melton railway station. Work has already commenced on these projects, and it is fantastic to see that progressing. Work will start on the new all-electric Melton hospital very soon; we recently had a smoking ceremony onsite, and worksites are being set up. A new TAFE to be run by Kangan Institute is finalising its land with, hopefully, building commencing next year, and of course two new schools are being built: Cobblebank secondary and Toolern Waters primary. Both will be ready for the 2026 school year.
