If you support a heavy truck route outside of the Hamilton CBD then you support Cox Street redevelopment. Here is why:

Community feedback is highlighting the poor state of our roads in Western Victoria.

How about a Local Government VICROADS model, where all the roads except National Highways become under the management of Local Councils. Councils that can't dodge their responsibilities as we are closest to the people and you all let us know when you are not happy.

Finance for roads come from State and Federal Taxes, Fuel excise, Fuel GST, registrations and licensing. How much money is collected and from where? I call this Truth in Taxing.

I may not have been a Mayor, but I have been a very effective councillor getting major projects up that drive employment and growth of Southern Grampians.

Today has had two firsts for Southern Grampians Shire Council.

We had the first meeting of the Planning Committee to consider a planning permit application. And we councillors met before midday on a Wednesday!

It is good to see a reform I have suggested and supported, along with other councillors, working for our Shire.
