Sydenham electorate
Natalie HUTCHINS (Sydenham – Minister for Jobs and Industry, Minister for Treaty and First Peoples, Minister for Women) (10:04): I rise to commend the outgoing Premier for the work he did in improving the lives of residents in the electorate of Sydenham. In 2014 I stood by Dan Andrews’s side at the dangerous Melton level crossing, where we announced the removal of that level crossing, and that is exactly what we did. Since then I have worked with the former Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, the now Premier, to ensure that the Sunbury line is level crossing free and safer and better for all of our residents.
During the Andrews years we were able to remove the notorious Taylors–Kings roads roundabout, build a new Sydenham school in Plumpton and make a $10 million investment at Copperfield College, and we also delivered a new ambulance station in Taylors Lakes. I so look forward to working hard as part of the Allan Labor government now to deliver for families across the west.
