A
A
I
would
like
to
welcome
members
of
the
public
who
have
joined
us
in
the
chamber
tonight.
Members
of
the
public
attending
Council

committee
meetings
are
expected
to
behave
respectfully
at
all
times
and
not
permitted
to
engage
with
the
councilors
or
Council
officers.
During
the
course
of
the
meeting

are
employees
who
have
a
right
to
be
safe
and
treated
with
respect
at
their
workplace.
A
You
may
be
asked
to
leave
the
meeting
if
your
behavior
is
considered
inappropriate,
disruptive
or
rude.
We
will
not
tolerate
any
behavior
that
threatens
the
safety
of
anyone
present
in
the
chamber
or
which
disrupts
the
ability
for
Council
to
conduct
its
business
on
behalf
of
the
community
in
the
unlikely
event
of
an
emergency.
Please

A
B
I
acknowledge
with
a
heavy
heart
the
passing
of
one
of
our
most
cherished
Community
Disability
Advocates
Irene
Quang
I
on
behalf
of
council,
extend
my
deepest
condolences
to
Irene's,
Family,
Friends
supporters
and
loved
ones.
During
this
time
of
profound
loss,
Irene
was
an
integral
part
of
our
community,
always
providing
disability
awareness
through
her
involvement
with
council's
disability
action
plan
as
a
co-design
team
member
and
then,
as
a
representative
on
council's
disability,
advisory
committee,
Irene's,
unwavering
dedication
and
positive
spirit
left
a
mark
on
everyone
who
met
her.
B
It
is
a
testament
to
Irene's
character
that
she
touched
the
lives
of
so
many
in
our
community.
Let
us
remember
Irene
for
her
remarkable
contributions
to
our
community,
her
sharp
wit,
caring
nature
and
incredible
work
ethic,
but
most
of
all,
her
advocacy
for
people
with
a
disability
went
above
and
beyond
and
will
be
her
lasting
Legacy.
Most
recently,
I
had
the
honor
of
working
on
the
duck
with
Irene.
She
was
extremely
articulate
and
passionate.
She
had
an
inspiring
spirit
even
with
the
difficulties
she
faced.

H
Marin

the
next
question
is
from
Claire.
Namdegur
is
Council,
aware
of
the
widespread
Community
just
discussed
at
the
recent
Nazi
event
in
sunshine,
West
and
the
reputational
damage
to
our
city.
That
continues,
as
these
events
continue
to
happen,
and
will
any
action
whatsoever
be
taken
to
change
the
situation.
A
Thank
you
on

of
our
community
brimbank
city
council
condemns
any
intolerant,
racist
or
fascist
activity
or
sentiment,
Within,
rembank
and
in
any
other
place.
The
events
in
question
are
entirely
contradictory
to
councils
from
Bank
council's
values,
and
we
acknowledge
the
widespread
Community
discussed
in
addition
to
working
closely
with
Victoria
Police
councilors,
actively
engaging
in
community
outreach
initiatives,
educational
programs
and
events
that
promote
unity
and
understanding
among
our
diverse
population.
H
H
A
Thank
you.
Wells
Council
has
powers
to
ensure
that
land
is
being
used
in
accordance
with
the
brim,
Bank
planning
scheme
and
the
local
law.
It
does
not
have
powers
to
control,
monitor
or
regulate
the
patrons
who
attend
the
premises
or
to
close
the
premises
down
due
to
the
alleged
extremist
views
of
its
patrons.
H
Marion
cancels
the
next
question
is
from
Peter
Robinson
I
recently
tried
to
reach
out
to
three
councilors
over
at
Council
matter,
leaving
many
messages
on
my
mobile
phone
on
mobile
phone
numbers,
two
of
which
only
had
a
recording
of
the
number
and
I
I
had
rang.
So
I
wasn't
even
sure
if
I
had
contacted
a
counselor,
one
Council
returned
to
call
three
weeks
later.
The
other
two
did
not
return
calls.
Can
we
please
inform
the
councilors
that
they
work
for
rate
payers
and
they
are
expected
to
return,
calls
more
professionally
and
promptly.
A
Thank
you,
I
acknowledge
your
feedback
by
providing
your
question
to
this
forum.
The
matter
has
now
been
brought
to
the
attention
of
all
councilors
I
can
confirm
that
counselors
have
their
direct
email
addresses
and
mobile
phone
numbers
published
on
council's
website.
This
is
for
the
community
members
to
direct
contact
to
have
legitimate
concerns,
and
questions
addressed.
H
A
H
Marion
council's
the
next
question
is
also
from
Sean
markahi,
noting
that
there
is
clear
evidence
of
Nazi
related
signs
being
displayed
on
the
footway
outside
the
Legacy
boxing
gym.
Why
did
council's
investigation
find
no
evidence
of
nuts
related
signs
being
displayed
outside
the
premises
and
will
Council
meet
with
the
Victorian
Pride
Lobby
to
discuss
the
investigation
that
Council
has
undertaken
and
what
actions
can
be
taken
to
ensure
the
safety
of
Jewish
and
LGBT
iqa
plus
people
in
the
municipality.
A
A
H
H
Marion
councilors.
The
next
question
is
from
Graham
blaw
in
the
interest
of
probity
and
full
disclosure
I
request.
The
following
can
bring
Bank
Council
confirm
that
any
brim,
Bank
counselor
employed
at
Hume
Council,
which
receives
revenue
from
Melbourne
Airport,
refrains
or
is
constrained
from
voting
on
any
issue
concerning
or
potentially
impacting
Melbourne
Airport
Revenue
to
ensure
no
potential
or
assumed
conflict
of
interest
regarding
their
job
tenure.
A
Thank
you.
The
local
government
act
governs
the
instances
when
a
counselor
may
have
a
conflict
of
interest
in
respect
of
a
matter
and
when
they
have
to
disclose
that
conflict
of
interest.
It
is
up
to
individual
counselors
and
it
is
councilors
personal
responsibility
to
determine
and
declare
a
conflict
of
interest
in
respect
of
a
matter.
A
H
Man
cancels
the
next
question
is
also
from
Graham
Bloor.
How
much
rate
pays
money
is
bring
Bank
Council
spending
on
The
Voice
and
who
made
the
assumption
that
they
were
representing
every
ratepayer
in
brimbank,
given
that
this
is
a
federal
issue,
particularly
when
we
have
so
many
profound
issues
impacting
our
whole
community.
A
The
parliament
referendum
is
led
by
the
federal
government.
This
is
a
matter
that
concerns
all
Australians
council's
decision
to
support
the
voice
to
Parliament
and
recognition
of
the
Uluru
statement
is
consistent
with
the
Australian
local
government
Association
resolution
to
acknowledge
what
the
voice
will
mean
for
Australia's
First
Nations
peoples
and
the
broader
Community
brimbank
Council
is
committed
to
reconciliation,
and
we
recognize
that
our
diverse
Community
has
different
views
about
the
voice
to
Parliament
to
date.
Costs
incurred
by
Council
in
support
of
the
voice
Department
totals
ten
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
six
dollars.
H
Mayor
and
councilors,
the
next
question
is
from
Kim
Cullen
in
your
next
meeting.
15Th
of
the
8th
23
meeting
number
622
on
the
agenda
is
the
following:
section:
1.1.5
supports
safe
and
inclusive
communities,
Advance
the
LGBT,
IQ
plus
action
plan
and
embed
and
embed
inclusive
practices
into
identified,
priority
Council
service
and
programs.
H
Does
this
mean
that
the
petition
that
I
submitted
with
97
signatures
from
local
community
members
disagreeing
and
the
submissions
that
we
did
not?
And
this
and
the
submissions
that
we
did
have
not
been
taken
into
account
and
the
LGBT
IQ
plus
action
plan
will
in
fact
continue
to
be
pushed
onto
the
unknowing
community?
H
A
A
The
action
mentioned
refers
to
the
current
status
of
the
draft
lgbtqi
plus
action
plan
and
the
work
still
to
be
undertaken
before
a
final
decision
is
made
later
this
year.
The
petition
will
be
considered
by
Council,
alongside
the
other
draft
lgbtqi
plus
action
plan.
Submissions
received
as
part
of
this
decision.
H
H
Bringback
counselors
have
been
asked
to
produce
videos
for
the
community
to
promote
the
voice,
to
Parliament,
to
encourage
the
community
to
vape
Yes
To
The
Voice.
This
is
not
the
job
of
the
council
to
persuade
the
community
community
to
vote
one
way
or
another
without
both
sides
of
the
story.
The
council's
position,
by
doing
this
is
not
impartial,
a
yes
vote.
The
Voice
will
have
ramifications
to
the
Australian
people
that
will
not
be
known
about
until
the
referendum,
as
there
are
no
firm
guidelines
from
our
government
on
what
the
changes
to
our
constitution
will
be.
H
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
While
the
voice
to

is
led
by

This
work
has
been
funded
through

adopted
budget
process.
A

For

I
see.
H
Cancels
the
next
question
is
from
Senate
Shannon

to
speak
up
and
Advocate
against
discrimination

plus
identifying
community,
despite
being
a
perfect
opportunity
to
show
how
Council
would
enact
action.
1.1.4
of
the
plan.
H
Brimbank
city
council
was
not
only
absent
in
any
official
capacity
from
the
anti-nazi
protest
in
sunshine
last
month,
but
failed
to
actually
put
out
any
statement
via
its
communication
channels
advocating
against
the
discrimination
and
hate
being
projected
at
our
lgbtqia
plus
Community
by
these
Nazi
organizations
in
our
community
will
Council.
Please
advise
how
they
intend
on
executing
action
1.1.4
within
the
draft
lgbtqia
plus
action
plan
when
they
have
failed
to
act
when
it
has
really
mattered.
A
Thank
you.
The
draft
lgbtqi
plus
action
plan
work
towards
council's
commitment
to
support
the
brim
bank
community
at
all
life
stages,
and
this
includes
creating
a
safe
and
inclusive
community
that
values
and
celebrates
diversity
and
sexuality,
gender
age,
ethnicity,
Faith,
culture
and
or
disability.
A
All
actions
are
currently
in
draft
and
not
yet
enacted,
including
4.1
council
did
Issue
a
statement
earlier
this
year,
voicing
concerns
about
alleged
fascist
activity
in
brimbank.
In
the
statement
we
condemned
any
intolerant,
racist
or
fascist
activity
or
sentiment
within
brimbank
and
in
any
place.
This
statement
can
be
found
on
our
website.
In
addition,
we
continue
to
promote
tolerant,
Behavior
through
support
for
activities
like
mid-summer,
the
Ida
Hobbit
and
other
programs
that
support
our
lgbtqia
plus
community.
H
Council's
the
next
question
is
also
from
Shannon
milac
last
month,
I
raised
concerned
that
my
questions
pertaining
to
Greater
disability
inclusion
within
rank
with
within
brimbank
had
been
altered
and
they're,
therefore
not
answered
sufficiently
I
requested
that
my
questions
be
read
out
again
this
time
in
full,
but
my
request
was
denied
and
I
was
instead
promised.
A
response
would
be
provided
in
writing
to
date.
I
still
I
have
still
not
been
provided
with
an
answer.
A
A
We
apologize
for
the
delay,
as
we
previously
advised
in
accordance
with
rule
57.14
of
the
brimbank
governance
rules.
All
questions
and
answers
must
be
as
brief
as
possible.
We
do
not
consider
that
there
has
been
a
breach
of
the
governance
rules.
In
that
instance,
questions
read
out
and
responses
to
provided
at
Council
meetings
are
publicly
available
in
the
minutes
of
the
meetings.
H
Marion
council's
the
next
question
is
from
Diane
Capelli.
Why
has
the
Westvale
Community
Center
decided
to
close
for
three
months
of
the
year?
It
is
a
valuable
Community
Asset,
which
runs
programs
such
as
the
men's
shed.
It
is
a
standalone
building
which
caters
to
a
social
group
and
a
woodworking
group
for
men
and
a
woodworking
group
for
women
on
Tuesday
morning.
All
groups
using
the
community
center
have
been
denied
access
to
the
center
during
the
school
holidays.
The
center
is
staffed
during
the
holidays.
Apart
from
a
short
period
over
Christmas.
A
H
A
H
A
Thank
you.
In
accordance
with
the
brimbank
governance
rules,
members
of
the
public
are
currently
allowed
to
submit
questions
prior
to
a
council
meeting
for
the
questions
to
be
responded
to
at
the
meeting
on
the
18th
of
July
2023,
a
notice
of
motion
raised
by
councilor
Maria
Kerr
was
resolved
by
Council.
The
council
receives
a
report
detailing
how
a
regular
public
forum
meeting
could
be
introduced
for
public
community
members
to
make
representation
and
to
ask
live
and
unscripted
questions
of
the
mayor
or
any
counselor.
A
That's:
completion
of
public
Question
Time
item
10
petitions.
There
is
one
petition
to
be
received.
The
draft
lgbtqi
plus
action
plan,
2023
2024
Council,
received
a
petition
with
97
signatures
objecting
to
the
draft
lgbtqi
plus
action
plan.
2023-27
may
I
have
a
mover
of
a
motion
to
receive
the
petition
and.
A
A
Okay.
I'll,
put
the
motion
no.
B
To
say,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yeah
I'd,
like
to
I
think
it
is
vitally
important
that
Community
Voices
are
heard
in
the
spirit
of
freedom
of
speech.
There
are
times
residents
may
not
support
a
council
initiative
and
it
is
okay
to
agree
to
disagree
respectfully
regardless.
If
the
subject
is
a
sensitive
is
sensitive
in
nature
and
as
long
as
the
opposition
is
not
hateful
and
is
objective.
B
I
do
not
believe
council
is
a
right
level
of
government
to
involve
itself
in
state
federal
and
social
issues.
Subjects
like
religion
and
sexuality
should
not
be
included
in
local
Council
matters.
This
petition
articulates
that
the
signatories
are
concerned
with
protecting
the
safety
of
children,
protecting
the
rights
of
families
to
raise
their
child
with
their
own
beliefs
and
protecting
the
rights
of
biological
women.
Three
points
I

July,
2023,
director,
Mr
Walsh.
I
Thank
you,
councilor
Lancashire.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
provide
counsel
with
information
on
the
status
of
planning,
permit
applications
and
Trends
in
planning
approvals
in
brimbank
decisions
made
under
delegated
authority
during
July
related
to
planning
applications
and
the
status
of
the
current
planning
scheme
amendments.
As
at
the
31st
of
July
2023,
the
officers
recommend
the
council
notes
this
activity
report,
including
the

Thank

A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
this
report's
presented
to
council
to
consider
endorsing
the
draft
brim,
Bank
lifelong
learning,
strategy,
2024-2029
and
open
for
Community
consultation
for
a
period
of
four
weeks.
The
draft
strategy
is
a
long-term
approach
for
Council
and
its
Partners
to
improve
the
social
and
economic
outcomes
for
the
community,
recognizing
learning
as
a
key
driver
for
change
following
the
consultation
period,
a
report
outlining
the
submissions
and
the
final
draft
plan
will
be
presented
for
adoption
and
consideration.
A
E
It's
really
pleasing
to
see
the
community
heading
in
the
right
direction,
with
more
people
completing
year,
12,
higher
percentages
of
people,
meeting
the
minimum
literacy
requirements
and
an
additional
four
percent
of
residents
holding
a
bachelor's
degree
I
think
it's
we've
got
a
long
way
to
go
in
our
community,
as
stated
in
this
report,
but
it's
important
work
and
I'm
glad
it's
happening.
Thank
you.
D
A
J
Thanks
Mr
may
this
report's
presented
to
council
to
note
the
safety
review
report
undertaken
at
the
brimbank
Aquatic
and
Wellness
Center,
and
its
recommended
actions.
Brimbank
Aquatic
and
Wellness
Center
has
been
recognized
as
industry,
leading
in
its
approach
to
safety,
but
Council
recognizes,
as
there
is
always
room
for
more
that,
can
be
done
to
further
improve
the
safety
there.
Measures
such
as
increased
language,
signing
audible
messaging
and
the
implementation
of
what's
around
water
committees
are
just
some
of
the
proposed
improvements.
Thank
you.
A
No
questions:
do
you
wish
to
remove
the
motion?
Yes,
please.
B
I'd
like
to
I'd
just
like
to
thank,
first
of
all
the
community
who
brought
these
issues
to
my
attention
and
I'd
like
to
thank
Council
officers
for
taking
my
motion
seriously
and
doing
a
full
and
thorough
review
of
the
safety
concerns,
and
there
were
a
number
of
items
that
were
identified
and
I'm
hopeful
that
you
know
once
they're
in
place
that
we
won't
have
to
deal
with
these
serious
incidences
that
we
were
dealing
with
previously.
B
So
thanks
to
the
council
officers
for
taking
on
board
my
feedback
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
these
changes
once
they're
implemented.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
The

L
C
Hi
to
smell
like
to
move
emotion,
I
would
like
to
move
that
Council
adopts
part
a
Part,
B
and
Pi
e,
and
to
defer
part
C
and
D
to
the

for
consideration.
D
C
Yes,
all
right,
thank
you,
so
thank
you.
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
you
know
our
government's
report
like
the
previous
items,
but
what
I
want
to
highlight
is
the
consideration
of
the
bring
my
governance
rules,
having
you
know,
received
feedback
from
The,
Wider,
community
and
I.
Thank
them
for
their
contribution
to
our
governance
rules.
C
I
do
propose
to
counselors
that
there
need
need
to
be
for
better
consideration
of
the
governance
rules
and
yeah
just
to
defer
it
to
the
next
councilman,
and
so
we
could
discuss
what
could
be
amended.
Thank
you.

L
E
E

complete
some
highlights
for
me
was
the
that
we
secured
funding
for
a
new
mental
health
and
wellbeing
partnership
officer
at
Council,
and
that
was
something
that
we
advocated
for
and
thank
you
Council

for
your
advocacy
around
that
the
youth
and
Teen
Mental
Health
First,
Aid
training
and
capacity
building
to

School
teachers
in
brimbank.
There's
so
many
on
here,
but
I'll
just
do
a
couple
more
and
that
was
in
the
well-being
and
belonging.
E
Then
in
Pride,
in
participation
there
was
a
range
of
reconciliation
and
nadoc

The

I

I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone
involved

good
to
see
that
we're
nearing
the

most
items
are
complete.
Thank

Thank
you,
Mr

The
advocacy
update
report
provides
an
update
on
major
advocacy,
highlights
and
initiatives
over
recent
months.
These
include
our
ongoing
know
the
facts
about
the
third
Runway
campaign,
our
new
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Victoria
University,
the
recent
government
announcement
to
reform
operations
of
pokies
at
pubs
and
clubs
and
the
significant
state
budget
commitments
for
brimbank
under
delegates
report
of
the
national
general
assembly
of
the
Australian
local
government
Association
that
was
held
in
Canberra
in
June.
L
E
A
That
Mr
levers
would
you
be
able
to
provide
some
comment
on
sorry,
there's
wisdom.
Mar
is.
Could
you
start
with
comments
on
12.7
players.
M
Thank
you,
madam
yes,
I.
Can.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
award
contract
number
two
for
forward
slash,
3421
MAV,
for
the
provision
of
bill
payment
services.
This
contract
provides
for
bill
payment
via
over-the-counter
transactions
at
retail
outlets,
secure
telephone
payments,
a
secure
online
payment,
Gateway
Service,
secure
smartphone,
mobile
Tech,
Mobile
technology
and
other
secure
and
payment
methods
that
may
be
designed
in
the
future.
This
contract
is
for
a
five-year
term
with
the
option
to
extend
for
two
further
terms
of
two
years.
M
N
Yes,
the
first
report
is
the
contract
23
3316.
It's
just
designing
construction
of
a
new
sports
for
being
at
Lloyd,
Reserve,
Sunshine
North,
and
it's
seeking
Council
approval
to
award
a
contract
for
the
design
and
construction
of
a
pavilion.
The
Works
include
demolition
of
an
existing
change,
room
and
toilet
block
and
the
Reconstruction
of
a
new
sporting
Pavilion
car
park
and
Associated
Landscaping.
The
Project's
been
attenders
and
officers
recommend
awarding
the
contractor
kale
modular
systems.
N
The
total
project
value
is
4
million
and
eighty
eight
thousand
dollars
council's
allocated
the
budget
of
approximately
3.7
million
dollars,
including
GST
this
year,
and
it's
not
practical
to
complete
all
of
the
works
in
this
current
year
and
obviously
that's
not
sufficient
to
complete
the
project.
So
the
project
will
is
intended
to
be
completed
in
24-25
and
funding
would
need
to
be
allocated
for
that
purpose.
So,
there's
a
shortfall
on
this
year's
budget
of
about
390
thousand
dollars,
which
is
proposed
to
be
allocated
in
24
25.
N
If
Council
agreed
to
award
the
contract
and,
of
course
awarding
the
contract
would
commit
Council
to
making
that
funny
available
in
next
year's
budget.
N
Happy
to
Mayor!
Thank
you.
Yes,
the
next
one
is
contract,
two
three
three
two,
seven
one
a
which
is
Robert
Bruce,
Reserve,
Sports,
Pavilion
refurbishment
and
this
one's
seeking
Council
approval
to
a
water
contract.
For
that
purpose,
the
driver
for
these
works
is
to
increase
female
participation.
The
project
would
see
the
sport
for
being
in
change
rooms
at
Robert,
Bruce
Reserve
receive
significant
refurbishment,
including
the
establishment
of
female
compliant
toilets,
Up,
umpire's,
Room,
upgrade
and
refurbishment
of
social
rooms
and
an
upgrade
of
the
HVAC
system
and
a
new
roof.
N
The
refurbishmentworks
don't
call
for
any
demolition
of
the
existing
building,
the
works
of
being
the
tender
and
officers
recommend
awarding
the
contract
for
these
Works
to
constructive
group.
Pty
LCD
the
contract
is
just
under
1.7
million
dollars.
The
project
cost
in
total
is
about
1.93
million
dollars.
The
budget
allocation
is
1.562
and
I'll.
Just
note
that
Council
received
612
000
from
state
government
towards
this
project
via
the
local
sports
and
infrastructure
program
to
deliver
female,
improved
female
facilities.
N
So,
despite
the
external
funding
available,
there's
a
shortfall
to
this
project
of
250
000
based
on
the
budget
allocation
and
what
the
report
outlines
is
that
officers
believe
that
this
can
be
funded
by
the
capital
Works
program
in
2324
through
savings
it'll
be
identified
in
other
projects.
The
exact
funding
source
hasn't
yet
been
identified.
However,
if
the
contracts
awarded
officers
would
seek
to
identify
that
funding,
source
and
report
this
to
council
as
part
of
quarter
One
Finance
report.
Thank
you.
A
A
G
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
just
very
brief,
I,
just
very
much
taken
with
also
works,
especially
the
Lloyd
Street
Reserve.
We've
been
talking
about
this
reserve
for
more
than
20
years
and
I
see
this
before
us
tonight
and
I'm
very
happy
to
say

there's

there
Mr

Would

like
to

to
those
please.
N
Thank
you.
May
yes,
the
four
reports
in
front
of
you
are
each
recommending
Works
orders
be
approved
at
the
Road
rehabilitation
projects
and
above
the
one
million
threshold,
which
is
a
CEO's
delegated
limit.
The
projects
are
recommended
to
be
awarded
to
contractors
that
have
been
appointed
to
cancel
Civil
Works
panel
and
they
were
appointed
in
May
2023.
N
However,
due
to
the
value
of
the
projects,
they
still
require
Council
approval
to
award
The
Works,
the
officer
recommendations
are
based
on
an
assessment
of
cost
and
availability,
noting
the
previous
assessment
on
other
criteria,
such
as
skills,
qualified
Personnel
quality
of
work
and
the
like
was
undertaken
prior
to
recommending
them
for
appointment
to
the
panel.
The
lowest
price
contractor
is
not
always
recommended
and
we
seek
to
balance
price
and
availability
to
ensure
the
entire
program
can
be
delivered
in
a
timely
manner.
N
Oh
sorry,
based
on
the
price
of
the
recommended
contractor
adjustments
like
this
are
made
throughout
the
year
within
the
budget
allocated,
and
this
information
is
provided
to
council
for
transparency.
The
net
result,
if
Council
approves
a
four
contracts,
as
recommended
tonight,
would
result
in
150
000
Surplus,
which
would
be
retained
to
be
relocated
if
required
in
2324
or
declared
as
a
saving
at
the
end
of
the
year.
If
not
reallocated.
Thank
you.
May.

A
Thank
you,

the
motion,

K
Yeah,
thank
you,
I'm,
happy
to
move
and
speak
on
this
motion.
As
my
passion
for
better
roads
and
infrastructure
is
not
a
secret,
we
need
to
call
the
previous
fixed
surgeon
please.
So
earlier
this
year,
racv
launched
my
Melbourne
Road
survey,
giving
Road
users
the
opportunity
to
have
their
same
safety
concerns
on
Melbourne's
transport
Network,
the
polder
Park
Drive
hold
the
freeway
intersection
was
indented
by
amongst
the
top
10
in
brimbank.
K
I
was
proud
to
have
launched
the
fixed
they're
called
The
Campaign
more
than
two
years
ago
and
I'm
even
proud
to
have
seen
some
great
success
come
from
that
campaign,
including
a
joint
hundred
million
from
the
state
and
federal
governments
and
the
commitment
to
remove
the
dangerous
Calder,
Park
Drive
level
crossing,
but
the
Victorian
government
by
the
Victorian
government,
which
is
already
well
underway.
K
There
are
still
a
number
of
issues
that
need
urgent,
urgent
attention
as
outlined
to
enter
not
a
submotion,
that's
shared
on
the
screen
and
I
call
on
the
government
to
address
them
now.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
B
Been
going
over
and
over
this
exact
issue,
like
a
broken
record,
we
ran
the
fixer-cola
campaign
at
a
cost
of
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
our
rate
payers.
We
have
articulated
the
dangers
of
the
calls
are
and
the
possibility
of
future
fatalities
and
serious
accidents
which
are
likely
to
occur.
When
is
enough
enough,
a
call
on
our
local
representative
The
Honorable
Ben
Carroll,
who
represents
the
seat
of
nidri,
which
encompasses
most
of
key
law
and
a
big
stretch
of
the
Calder
to
please
represent
us.
Please
fight
for
our
residents
and
I.
B
Invite
you
to
bring
this
urgent
matter
to
Parliament
on
our
behalf.
I
also
plead
was
a
minister
for
roads
and
road
safety,
The
Honorable
Melissa
horn,
who
also
is
a
local
western
suburbs.
Mp
to
please
represent
us.
Your
title
includes
the
words
Road
Safety.
Please
take
out
our
concerns
seriously.
Miss
Horn
I
will
continue
to
Advocate
relentlessly
for
Road
Safety
in
the
west.
Thank
you.
A
F
There
is
one
