Nina Taylor MP Your government is driving massive expansion across this region, directly impacting South Melbourne, Southbank, Port Melbourne, Albert Park, St Kilda and surrounding suburbs.
More apartments. More businesses. More people.
But where is the investment in emergency services to match it?
While this region grows, local firefighters are being left with ageing stations, trucks over 20 years old, and a 26 year old fire boat protecting the Port of Melbourne and billions in trade.
This government keeps approving expansion, collecting more taxes and the fire service levy but where is that money being reinvested?
Because growth without proper investment in firefighters, trucks, stations and equipment is not planning, it’s negligence.
These communities are carrying the impact of rapid growth, yet many people no longer feel safer. They feel forgotten.
