Budget

Mr WAKELING: We are coming up shortly to the state budget. It is imperative that the government delivers important upgrades to the Ferntree Gully electorate. We need to see commitments from this government to install traffic lights at the corner of McMahons Road and the Burwood Highway in Ferntree Gully. It is imperative that schools receive funding upgrades, such as Fairhills High School, which has previously called for $9 million of upgrades, and Scoresby Secondary College, which is looking for a $5 million upgrade, as well as schools like Wantirna South Primary School, which is looking for a gymnasium upgrade. We also want to see further upgrades done at Ferntree Gully railway station as well as upgrades for the Scoresby CFA. It is imperative that the state government invests in the Knox community.
