FOMRE meets with our Local MLA Mr Grant Woodhams - 23.04.2010

On Friday, April 23rd, two FOMRE committee members joined three GCA committee members at a well-attended meeting of the Lower Coastal Communities Association (LCCA) at Sovereign Hill. The meeting had been called to meet Grant Woodhams, our local MLA. David Burt, the acting Shire CEO of Gingin, was present. A range of important issues was raised with Mr Woodhams, among them:

1. Health services in the Lower Coastal area are needed, possibly provided by a nurse practitioner. The hope was expressed that suitable premises might be built in a future services hub just north of the Guilderton turn-off.
2. Increased traffic and its associated problems on the main road once the Indian Ocean Drive is completed late in 2010.
3. The Plunkett development; the need to work for the riverside land to be protected from future development and made into an A class reserve. It was particularly pleasing to find all the other communities now so supportive of our stance.

Grant Woodhams strongly encouraged us to keep the petitions flowing in as they are clearly having the desired effect of keeping the issue before all parliamentarians.
