Youth & Family Services
Where are they? Do they exist?
Supporting Community
Health, family and youth support services.
Already mentioned the hospital, and the additional services required to support the massive growth in our electorate. Including the lack of plans for aged care facilities, along with the allied health services that are required for a growing ageing population.
We need to consider where the workers and their families providing those essential services live. Where will their children go to school? Where will the teachers live? Where will the people servicing the needs of health workers and teachers live? The hairdressers, the retail workers, the cleaners, the gardeners, administration staff etc.
What support services are we going to have in place to support this community that is projected to be a community of 62,000 people by 2031? What mental health, youth and family services? What medical clinics?
What about emergency services? Policing?
What about our cultural life? What kind of culture and recreation do we want to foster in our community to be a thriving, supportive, healthy community?
Where are the plans? Where are the forums and the consultations? Not pointless busy work like the recent council ‘Have your say on the 2030 plan’ which addressed nothing and omitted significant issues like accessibility.
Where are real community leaders?
We are going to need some and fast. All these projects (and more) need to be addressed this election cycle. And they need to be addressed at all levels of government. We can’t have party lines and petty politicking if we want to have a positive quality of life in this electorate. We need someone who can act now.
We need a community member, committed to this electorate only.
Have policy questions?
