There’s only six weeks to go before the State election and Commuters Count are still advocating hard for a commitment from Daniel Andrews or Matthew Guy to build this missing link & increase bus frequency & reliability #SpringSt
Commuters Count
Extending Westall Road to the Monash Freeway would remove traffic bottlenecks and improve bus connections for commuters in Melbourne's east.

This is a massive win for the community. Now we need the Federal Government (via Julia Banks MP) to match the commitment so that our youth can get the support they need regardless of who wins the next election

For more than twelve months, the Eastern Transport Coalition has been pushing our Commuters Count campaign. The Belgrave & Lilydale line focus called for removal of the last two crossings between the CBD & Ringwood, at Mont Albert & Surrey Hills
Today our fierce advocating paid off when Daniel Andrews, Jacinta Allan & Shaun Leane committed to removing them if re-elected. We’re hoping other parties will match the pledge
We’ve had a win, but there’s still so much more to do. Join us; we fight for you!!

BREAKING: Glenhuntly and Neerim Road Level Crossings set to be removed under a re-elected Andrews Labor Government. Once these two are gone, I can’t think of any level crossings that will exist within 10km of #Oakeigh50 level crossings were on Labor's list. We've already removed 29. And we've just added 25 more. Including Glen Huntly Road and Neerim Road. When these are removed - not one single level crossing will exist in our area. 75 will be gone around Melbourne. Every single one removed by Labor.
What matters is getting these things done. That's exactly what Labor will do. #labor #gettingthingsdone

From last 2 yrs public transport is so sick because of this & now more , yesterday I traveled from Chapel St to Springvale Station & it took me 2:40 mins 🤷🏻♂️ , I dkn if anyone is looking after the replacement service provided by current govt , I was always a big supporter of Andrew govt but I think now we need a change, We know u working hard but it just Andrew govt not taking matters seriously.
Riversdale road Riversdale and anything else on the Alemain line
Price is too high , Andrews is a disease.........🤮
I know I joke about not crossing Poath Road, but it was worth it to visit the amazing The Handmade Show. They have brilliant stalls with products made by locals, for locals, and have a market most months. Their next on is Nov 17; put it in your calendar

WOW. What a BIG win for the young people of Monash!
For over four years, young people in Monash have been tirelessly campaigning for improved mental health services.
If you're a young person in the City of Monash, you currently have to travel an average of over 60 minutes to get to the nearest headspace for support with mental health.
When a young person is struggling with their mental health and trying to seek help, there's a small window to intervene and help them. With the closest services so far away and struggling with demand, something needs to change.
The young people of Monash have told us that ill mental health is one of their top concerns and some of the stats (which are in the video) are truly concerning.
This is why a Labor Government will create a new Monash headspace to deliver the help and support these young people need.
This is all because of the campaign that these amazing young people ran. A BIG well done to them and their HUGE win!
A special mention to Jasmine, Wesley and Cheryl for getting involved with the video and Cr Paul Klisaris, Deborah O'Neill, Steve Dimopoulos MP for Oakleigh & Jennifer Yang for Chisholm for helping us announce the new headstart!
