Narracan Issues
HOME Profile Narracan Issues Liberal Party Policies Contact me about your issues

Transport

  • Many members of Narracan's community are frequent commuters to Melbourne be it for employment, education or social reasons. It is imperative that Narracan is well serviced by:
 

- Reliable, in expensive, frequent Trains
- Safe, well maintained Roads
- Practical alternative Bus services

  • The Warragul Township is divided by a rail line and another crossing is desperately needed to facilitate the movement of traffic from south to north and vice versa. If it was located at Latrobe St it would also improve the safety of the current level crossing (Gallagher's crossing) which is gridlocked at school times with cars competing with school buses and trains. The Victorian Liberals are being fully briefed on this issue by the Baw Baw Shire.

Education

  • A Kindergarten policy which will see ‘fee free kinder' for all four-year-olds in Narracan and will put early learning in its rightful place under the auspices of the Education Department rather than the Department for Human Services
  • Narracan children deserve an education at the highest standards. They deserve schools that give them priority over all other interests.
  • A Liberal Government will eliminate Labor's school maintenance backlog in the first term of office.

Health
  • West Gippsland Emergency Department is facing a funding shortfall of almost $1 million each year and is struggling to cope with the demand.
  • A Liberal Government will take immediate action to fix the shortage of general practitioners in country Victoria for both the short and long-term.

Water
  • Secure water supplies are critical for the future prosperity and lifestyle amenity of towns and areas across Narracan and in the surrounding region.
  • A Liberal Government will implement a comprehensive plan that meets the current and long-term needs across Victoria.

Disability Needs

  • Importance of joint initiatives with the Federal Government that would bring appropriate accommodation to people with disabilities for Day-to-Day Living in the Community
  • A Liberal Government will work to secure funding for existing programs in Narracan that support people with disabilities.

Law and Order

  • The Neerim South community is facing a Police availability problem and the Victorian Liberals are listening to the community and will work to increase police availability to ensure a safe Narracan.
