Melton electorate funding
Steve McGHIE (Melton) (10:40): This year’s budget was a win for Melton schools, our public transport network and the community. It saw Melton South Primary School receive a huge $21.3 million to upgrade and modernise the school, with upgrades to the main classroom wing and historic old school. Kurunjang Secondary College are now progressing with a modernisation project of their own, with $10.7 million allocated to construct new buildings for better learning spaces. Melton Primary, which is Melton’s oldest school, will receive a share of $10 million to plan for future school upgrades. The school plans to build a competition-grade gymnasium with sports courts and music spaces.
Another huge win for Melton was the new Thornhill Park bus service. This service will transport residents of Thornhill Park to Cobblebank station. This was an $11 million investment into the Melton community, helping get people to the stations and around the local area. Melton South’s FlexiRide service will also continue off the back of a $4.9 million investment.
