Western Victoria Region

 Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (13:01): (2363) My constituency question is to the Minister for Emergency Services and concerns the long-promised Armstrong Creek fire station. Armstrong Creek is one of Victoria’s fastest growing communities, yet Labor still has not delivered the fire station it promised before the 2018 election. Almost eight years later the project has been delayed, shifted between agencies, caught up in land issues and pushed back again, while Geelong’s southern growth corridor continues to expand. The same community is also waiting longer for its promised ambulance station, now reportedly delayed to 2028–29. Despite hitting Victorians with a massive new emergency services levy, local infrastructure continues to languish. These delays leave locals exposed while emergency service response times remain under pressure across Geelong’s southern suburbs. Minister, when will the government finally deliver the Armstrong Creek fire station it promised in 2018?
