 Ella GEORGE (Lara) (19:07): (1582) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and the action that I seek is for the minister to meet with constituents in the Lara electorate to hear from them about the improvements they want to see across the Geelong bus network. The Geelong bus review is now live and open for feedback, and as part of this review we want to hear from as many residents as possible about their experiences using local buses. We want to be guided by them about what is working and what is not, so that we have a service that reflects the needs of our local community. Geelong and Lara have undergone significant growth over recent years, and that growth is continuing. It is important that we have a bus network that keeps up with that growth and caters for how people move around our community. Buses are central to local public transport, connecting people to jobs, schools, trains, hospitals and their homes. I encourage local residents to jump online and have their say in the Geelong bus review.
