 Ella GEORGE (Lara) (18:23): (1475) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. How will the Lara community be fully informed and aware of their opportunity to have their say in the upcoming review into Geelong’s bus network? The northern suburbs of Geelong are home to vibrant communities, with people from a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds. Multiculturalism is a defining feature of our community, with residents from many different backgrounds contributing to a rich tapestry of language and traditions. The diverse environment enhances the character of the northern suburbs but needs to be accounted for when we are seeking community feedback on important matters such as the upcoming Geelong bus review. With significant population growth experienced in recent years and more to come, this is incredibly important, and I look forward to hearing from the minister on this.
