Our priorities for the 2022 Victorian election

Advocating to other levels of government in the interests of our community is an essential role of local government.

We want to work with Bayside’s elected state and federal representatives, regardless of party, to achieve strong outcomes for our community.

In the lead up to the 2022 Victorian election we are calling for funding for important projects, service enhancements and policy innovation to help the Bayside community. These are:

  • Funding for Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve, a Warm Water Pool, gender neutral sports pavilions and local connections to the Dingley Recycled Water Scheme pipeline
  • Service improvements for bus transport across Bayside and specifically in Beaumaris and Black Rock and the removal of Highett and Wickham Roads level crossings
  • Policy innovation including a new Minister for the Bay and strong engagement on the Suburban Rail Loop.

Our community needs all levels of government to work together to achieve these and the other aspirations of our Bayside 2050 Community Vision and 2021-2025 Council Plan. These articulate important issues and projects that Council cannot deliver alone.
