Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson will be joined by Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Alan Tudge, and state Liberal candidate for Bellarine Brian McKiterick for the forum at SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre.<\/p>\n
Ms Henderson said the Bellarine community forum would discuss issues of concern including community safety, population growth and the State Labor Government\u2019s failure to invest in\u00a0\u00a0vital infrastructure such as improved passenger rail and arterial roads.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy office has been inundated with calls and correspondence from concerned locals about the level of growth on the Bellarine,\u201d Ms Henderson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile immigration has underpinned much of our success as a nation, I share community concerns that growth is outpacing infrastructure investment by the state government, which is placing considerable pressure on our region.<\/p>\n
\u201cI invite all Bellarine residents to come along to this forum to discuss what can be done to rectify this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Community Forum will be held at SpringDale Neighbourhood Centre, 17-21 High Street, Drysdale from 4pm to 5pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
