 Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:57): (2180) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education. Across Victoria many campuses have now recorded their highest year 7 intake ever, especially across the western corridor. Parents in my electorate are concerned about overcrowding, the availability of local school places and the long-term planning needed to ensure children can access quality education close to home. Can the minister please update my constituents on whether the Allan Labor government has any additional infrastructure, staffing or planning measures to support the growth area experiencing a significant enrolment surge, particularly in my electorate, the Western Metropolitan Region. Alamanda K–9 College in Point Cook alone has expanded by 128 year 7 students. The community in the west want clarity on how the government is responding to such rapid enrolment growth and what steps are being taken to prevent overcrowding pressure from getting worse.
