Community asking for more investment in Flat Bush and Ormiston — Damian Light

Community asking for more investment in Flat Bush and Ormiston

On Monday the Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust hosted local candidates as part of their regular seniors meeting.

It was a pretty wet and wild outside but the reception inside the Old Flat Bush School Hall was warm and welcoming. We were treated to music, group exercises and a delicious lunch.

Candidates were invited to introduce themselves and their priorities, followed by an opportunity for questions.

There were two big issues that came out of our discussions:

  1. Transport and road safety: especially around the Flat Bush / Ormiston area and more specifically at the Intersection of Murphy’s Road and Redoubt Road.

  2. Flat Bush Library and Community Centre: despite it’s massive population growth, this area still doesn’t’ have a community centre or library.

Both of these are priorities for me and hopefully the community’s wishes are heard by other candidates (even those who didn’t attend).
