Altona Meadows freeway exit
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (10:34): Thank you to the more than 600 members of the community who signed the petition to see the Newland Street exit improved and cleaned up, and I am glad to say the recent budget delivered. It delivered a modest amount of money, and that is a great start. In Altona Meadows we know how to do a lot with a little, and I will, with the community’s support, fight for more. The Newland Street exit is the gateway to the Altona Meadows community, and having pride in where we live is a big deal, so this money will be well used. I know the residents want to see the exit renamed as well to the Altona Meadows exit. The funds we have today will not do everything we want to see happen, and I know there is more work to do, but I thank the petitioners who gave their support, and I will keep coming back to you for this support to demonstrate within government the needs of our community, and this government will keep delivering for our community.
