Western Victoria Region

Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (14:13): (1328) My question is for the Minister for Education. Melton South Primary School has over 900 students. Several students have impairments which limit their physical mobility, let alone the requirement to cater for parents, carers, staff and visitors who might need disabled parking spaces. The designated so-called accessible parking spaces at Melton South Primary are currently located 130 metres away and around the corner from the main entrance of the school. For some reason, Melton City Council has advised the school that they cannot create the requested compliant spaces. So, Minister, will you work with the Minister for Planning as an urgent priority to provide safe and proper accessible parking for the Melton South Primary School community?
