Mount Duneed schools

Darren CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (13:09): South Barwon is one of the fastest growing seats in this place, and the Armstrong Creek growth corridor is Australia’s fastest growing regional growth corridor. Currently, Geelong Lutheran College and Iona Catholic college are the two private secondary school options available to the Mount Duneed community. Unfortunately, as we speak right now there is no secondary school option available in Mount Duneed. I am therefore calling on the Allan Labor government to prioritise the land purchase to enable a public school option to be available in Australia’s fastest growing regional growth corridor. I think it is important. That community have been calling for it, and I support their call. I want to see a public school option available to the Mount Duneed community within the Armstrong Creek growth corridor.
