North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): (687) My question is for the Minister for Health Infrastructure in the other place. Back in 2016 one of the minister’s several predecessors Jill Hennessy announced that the state Labor government would rebuild Epping ambulance station. Almost eight years later locals are still crying out for that dedicated ambulance station to help cater for the explosive growth in the region. My constituents in Mill Park and in Epping are desperate for proper health care across the north, and if it was a genuine need then, it is a genuine need now. My question is: is the 2025 delivery date for the ambulance station on track and in line with the government’s original estimates and will the government expedite works to ensure locals in Epping, South Morang and Mill Park get the ambulance coverage they deserve?
