Armstrong Creek projects

Darren CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (13:05): South Barwon electorate is one of the fastest growing state electorates in the state of Victoria, and within that very fast-growing state seat is the Armstrong Creek growth corridor. As that community is growing, with many thousands of people now calling it home, the community quite rightly expects the state government to deliver services to help it thrive and survive. Within that context, the Allan Labor government has previously committed to building a career fire station and a new ambulance station and has funded the business case for a secondary school. I am hopeful that with the upcoming 2025 budget these exciting projects can be taken to the next step to ensure that the Armstrong Creek growth corridor gets the services that it needs to keep itself safe, to educate the community locally and to make sure that the missing ambulance service is delivered.
