TRANSLINK DUNWICH FERRY TERMINAL PROJECT
At Councils general meeting of 20/11/2024 a submission to the State government regarding the terminal upgrade project was endorsed by Councillors.Â
The community can read the full submission on Councils website. I argued successfully that Council make a request to  Translink to add ongoing community representation to this project by inviting elected Local, state and Federal government representatives.
In addition I argued with the support of Cr Bishop to add a request that no change be made to passenger transportation at One Mile , without the State Government validating  a strong consulted community position.
