Members statements- Government achievements

Mr J. BULL (Sunbury) — The Andrews Labor government was elected to put people first, and we have spent every day of the last two years achieving that by building a state that is stronger and fairer. Our achievements are not just promises kept or runs on the board; they are changing people’s lives for the better. For the last two years we have delivered on the things that matter most to people, creating more jobs and making sure that every Victorian has better schools, hospitals and public transport.

Let me list just some of our incredible achievements in my electorate: $7.8 million to upgrade Sunbury College, $700 000 for Kismet Park Primary School, $4 million for the Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Specialist School, $2 million for the Sunbury aquatic centre’s warm water pool, $6.4 million to signalise the dangerous and congested Gap Road and Horne Street roundabout, $30 000 for the men’s shed expansion, $3 million for the Sunbury global learning centre, $400 000 for the Sunbury tennis club, $490 000 for an upgrade to Boardman Reserve, additional bus services as part of the route 486 upgrade, $2 million in additional equity funding for schools, a $2.3 million upgrade to improve the safety of Riddell Road, a $53 million upgrade of the Sunbury recycled water plant, a $3.1 million upgrade to boost safety at the Mickleham Road and Melrose Drive intersection in Tullamarine, reinstating a 100-kilometre-per-hour speed limit on an outbound section of the Calder Freeway, $12 000 in new funding for Sunbury West Primary School for an outdoor exercise space, new sound barriers for Gowanbrae as part of a $10 million commitment and $20 000 for an industrial play pod at Sunbury Primary School.

Compare this to nothing from the Liberals in four years. I am proud of this government’s outstanding achievements and proud that I could play a role in delivering such wonderful projects. We will never stop putting people first.
