LOCAL residents will form a committee to work with Liberal Corangamite federal member Sarah Henderson to advocate for a new pool for the north Bellarine.<\/p>\n
Ms Henderson held a community meeting in Portarlington last week to discuss the importance of the infrastructure<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who attended also strongly backed the petition I am running in support of a new pool facility, which has now been signed by hundreds of local residents,\u201d Ms Henderson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe voice of the Bellarine matters – I am urging all local residents to sign my petition, which is at sarahhenderson.com.au\/petitions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Henderson said there was broad concern about the City of Greater Geelong\u2019s failure to develop any sort of plan or feasibility study for a new aquatic facility, which is vital for families, seniors and children learning to swim.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore broadly, residents raised their concerns about the lack of funding for infrastructure on the
\nnorth Bellarine, which has all but been ignored by Labor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am incredibly disappointed that the City of Greater Geelong has not developed any business case or feasibility plan for a new aquatic facility on the North Bellarine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are very few projects which council has put forward for federal funding in the lead up to the federal election and the Corangamite electorate was all but ignored by council in the recent Building Better Regions Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
