2/2

Petition Urgent Action on School Student & Pedestrian Safety in Doreen

To the Legislative Assembly of Victoria.

This Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the House the rapid increase in families moving to Doreen & Mernda

in recent years, & the acute shortage of schools.

In particular, we note:1. There are now almost 2000 students enrolled at government primary schools in Mernda & Doreen, by 2016 almost 4,000 12 to 17yo will live locally

2. There is currently no state secondary school in Doreen or Mernda & a shortage of Primary Schools, with parents travelling on congested roads to

schools as far as Whittlesea, Mill Park, Epping, Greensborough, Eltham, Montmorency & Diamond Creek.

3. The State Government has finally caved into community pressure to fund Doreen South PS (opening in 2014) & phase 1 of Doreen SC for years 7 &

8 only (opening in 2015), however the area still needs other schools & school buses.

4. Funding has not yet been confirmed for years 9-12 at Doreen SC, nor to build Mernda P-12, nor for more school buses or footpaths to enable

students to walk or cycle to existing schools & the new Doreen SC post 2015.

The Petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly urges the Liberal Government to fund new bus services & cycle and footpaths.
