Western Victoria Region

Sarah MANSFIELD (Western Victoria) (12:51): (1036) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. In June, the long-awaited Torquay and Armstrong Creek bus network reform commenced, promising 500 new weekly bus services, with more services and stops throughout the rapidly growing communities of Torquay and surrounds. The reality for constituents is very different. The new network is not fast, frequent or far reaching. The reality is a reduction in services, new services being dropped and the rapid bus service being scrapped. Will the minister commit to revisiting the bus network review to ensure it delivers on its promise for the people of the Surf Coast?
