Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas was delighted to host residents at his Community Matters Forum where local issues were discussed and ideas were shared.
The event was held at the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick and was attended by residents who represented a wide variety of community groups including schools, seniors groups, multicultural organisations, community houses, and sporting clubs.
Residents were enthusiastic about raising their thoughts on issues that affect our community such as jobs, health, education, policing, roads, and transport.
Their top priorities included social inclusion and support services for the disadvantaged members of our community, particularly the homeless. They also stressed the importance of better using government infrastructure for public programs and community engagement.
Mr Maas thanked all of the participants of the Community Matters Forum and looks forward to the possibility of setting up a committee to realise our goals for Narre Warren South.
“It was fantastic to be part of a productive discussion with local residents that focused on their concerns and ideas for the future of Narre Warren South,” he said.
“Forums like these help bring the community together and ensure residents can make their voices heard.
“The local feedback and desire to enhance our Narre Warren South was truly motivational.”
