Danielle Green, MLA for Yan Yean
Push for Whittlesea Police Station improvements
Friday, October 20, 2017
Improvements to Whittlesea’s ageing Police Station would be appreciated, Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green told the Legislative Assembly on Thursday (Oct. 19).
“My constituency question is to the Minister for Police,” Ms Green said.
“What are Victoria Police’s priorities for police infrastructure in Whittlesea?
“The Plenty growth corridor is seeing significant community safety investment, with the new Mernda police station becoming operational next month.
“Forty-five extra police are on the beat for that police service area, and the Whittlesea police response area will be moved to Grants Rd, Whittlesea, rather than it currently being all the way to South Morang.
“All of these initiatives will make a big difference to community safety in Yan Yean, as did previous police stations built by Labor at Wallan, Kinglake, Diamond Creek, Hurstbridge, Eltham and Warrandyte.
“A future upgrade for the Whittlesea police station would be another significant step forward and would be supported by my constituents,” Ms Green said.
