Mount Duneed Regional Primary School

Darren CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (10:02): A group of constituents from my electorate of South Barwon recently approached me about their primary school, the Mount Duneed Regional Primary School. This particular primary school is right on the very edge of the Mount Duneed community. This is of course a very, very quickly growing community. These parents, along with their children that attend this school, have approached the City of Greater Geelong on numerous occasions to see constructed a pathway for their children to be able to safely move from the Mount Duneed community to this particular school. The City of Greater Geelong has on a number of occasions now declined to take up the opportunity to fund this safe pathway, and therefore this community, with the support of my office, have launched a petition calling on the City of Greater Geelong to construct this pathway. I am inviting all residents of the Mount Duneed estate to go online and to fill in this petition calling on the City of Greater Geelong to construct this path so that these children have the opportunity to safely move from their estate through to school each and every day. This is great for lifestyle and it is great for safety.
