SEVERAL infrastructure projects across the Geelong region are now locked in regardless of the federal election result, with Labor committing to support them if they win.<\/p>\n
Last week, Labor candidate for Corangamite Libby Coker said Labor would fund eight projects on the Surf Coast and Bellarine already announced in round 3 of the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).<\/p>\n
These eight projects are:
\n\u2022 Point Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club rebuild
\n\u2022 Ocean Grove Surf Lifesaving Club hospitality venue fit out
\n\u2022 Leopold Hall upgrade and extension
\n\u2022 Stribling Reserve pavilions redevelopment in Lorne
\n\u2022 Redevelopment of Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club facilities
\n\u2022 Construction of a youth training facility at Jan Juc Surf Life Saving Club
\n\u2022 Green and surrounds upgrade at Lorne Bowls Club, and
\n\u2022 The Strategic Master Plan to the Visitor Economy of the Great Ocean Road.<\/p>\n
Ms Coker said this meant the five projects on the Surf Coast and three projects on the Bellarine Peninsula would proceed, improving community amenity and providing much-needed jobs and economic activity.<\/p>\n
Shadow Minister for Regional Services Stephen Jones said that if Labor was successful at the coming federal election, the party would not delay important investment in local communities by revisiting investment decisions that have already been made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
