Improve our roads & public transport

While our cars have to be roadworthy, our roads are not car worthy! I will advocate for funding to fix our roads and make them safe for our community. 

As a strong, independent voice, I will advocate for our fair share of funding to fix our roads and improve public transport. I’ll stop our safety being neglected just because we are a safe seat.

Safer, better roads for everyone

The poor condition of our roads isn't just dangerous—it's costing our community money through damaged vehicles, delayed deliveries, and increased travel times. I will fight for:

  • Funding for proper long-term repair and maintenance of our roads and potholes, not short-term fixes
  • Improved road safety measures across the electorate
  • Greater federal funding for regional roads, ensuring Monash gets its fair share, including working with Councils to maximise Roads to Recovery program funding
  • Funding for a bypass around Leongatha's "Kamikaze Corner"
  • Funding for a Drouin South bypass to ease congestion in Drouin main street
  • Solutions to other trouble spots identified by the community.

Better public transport

Our communities deserve reliable, accessible public transport. I will:

  • advocate at a state level for improved public transport across Monash, including:
    • more regular train and bus services
    • additional bus routes to better connect our towns
    • availability of Myki or other electronic payment options on all public transport
  • support shared community-led transport services such as the volunteer-managed buses in Sandy Point and Venus Bay.

Forward-looking transport solutions

I'm committed to making our transport systems work better for everyone while preparing for the future. I will support for electric vehicle uptake and widespread charging infrastructure across Monash
