Kilmore schools

Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 570 signatures:

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council that Kilmore needs a public high school. Mitchell Shire is forecasted to have a 300 per cent growth with Kilmore being the largest town in Victoria without a public high school. Despite land allocated for a public high school, Kilmore is not listed on the Victorian School Building Authority webpage. Surrounding towns, Broadford and Wallan, are at capacity as Kilmore residents are divided between both allocation zones.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to immediately start building a public high school for Kilmore.

Gaelle BROAD: I move:

That the petition be taken into consideration on the next day of meeting.

Motion agreed to.
