Better Connections for Local Families

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will support the delivery of better and safer connections for locals in Eltham, backing the construction of a new pedestrian bridge across Diamond Creek with a grant of up to $2 million to the local council.

We’re making it easier for families to access local community destinations, including Eltham North Dog Park and Men’s Shed with a new pedestrian bridge to connect the Diamond Creek Trail with Wattletree Road.

Victorians in our suburbs know how important it is to have safe, easy and reliable connections. That’s why we’ve invested $35 billion since 2014 to expand our road network and deliver important upgrades and connections, making our roads safer for every Victorian.

Better yet, these investments have created thousands of Victorian jobs.

When it comes to creating jobs and building much-needed infrastructure, Matthew Guy’s Liberals can’t be trusted. They’ve already promised to “audit” much-needed local investments – Liberal code for cuts and closures.

Only Labor will keep building to get Victorians home sooner and safer – because only Labor will keep doing what matters.
