Ringwood electorate
Will FOWLES (Ringwood) (14:45): (159) My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Minister, how many vouchers have been distributed to local shoppers in Ringwood East through the Stamp Me app to date? Work is heating up in Ringwood and Ringwood East as we prepare to remove the dangerous and congested level crossings at Bedford Road and at Dublin Road. Once completed in 2025, the entire Ringwood electorate will be level crossing free, slashing congestion and creating new open spaces with the completion of the Heathmont rail trail and the Ringwood East village plaza. It is certainly welcome news for my community, which endorsed these level crossing removals resoundingly at the last election. The Level Crossing Removal Project team have rolled out the Stamp Me app to local traders while we get the work done. For every $10 spent at local stores, shoppers receive one stamp, and after nine stamps, customers are rewarded with a $10Â voucher to use at their local shops. It is injecting funds into local small businesses and rewarding loyal local shoppers for their support during these very important works.
