Sunbury electorate infrastructure

Josh BULL (Sunbury) (13:06): It is terrific to be back in the house as we continue to do what matters for those in my electorate and right across the state. It has been a very big program of works locally as we work hard to deliver the brand new multideck car park in Sunbury, a joint project between the City of Hume, the federal Labor government and of course our Labor government. With more spaces for commuters and more spaces for shoppers and traders, it is to be opened late next year. This is a cracking project, and only this government will get it done.

Speaking of getting it done, we continue our really significant upgrade of Sunbury Road – new lanes, new signalised intersections, shared user paths and lighting. This project is marching ahead, creating a safer, less congested and smoother journey for my local community.

It was also terrific to visit Sunningdale Avenue kindergarten last week to chat to the next generation of infrastructure experts about road safety and the Sunbury Road upgrade. Kitted out in their high-vis and helmets, the kids were thrilled to share their ideas on what makes a community, from parks and pools to homes and hospitals.

We are also upgrading Goonawarra Primary School and Sunbury West Primary School. It was terrific to visit St Anne’s primary last week to talk about my role as an MP as they embark on their study of democracy. We are getting on with our upgrade at Leo Dineen Reserve and upgrading local community facilities. This government will continue to keep delivering; this government will continue to get things done.
