 A happy new year to everyone in our electorate of Southern River.

2010 is shaping up as a big year for our electorate, with the suburbs of Canning Vale and Southern River entering a period of sustained growth. This increase in population is in line with the beginning of a state wide resources boom with job creation and new opportunities set to grow our great state. 

While growth brings with it many positive aspects, it also creates its own set of issues for Government and town planners. In Southern River the rapid increase in housing has brought with it the challenges of infrastructure and building community services to match the growth in population.

As your local MP, 2010 will be a year of building momentum for Southern River.  I am committed to ensuring that our local communities are the best they can possibly be, and I will be doing my utmost to ensure that our electorate gets its fair share of government funding and services.

Please feel free to drop by my office and have a chat.  I am always keen to hear the opinions of local people who have ideas and issues they feel need a wider audience.

My door is always open, and together I believe we can build our electorate into a vibrant, caring, prosperous and safe community.

This year I plan to keep you updated as much as possible about changes in our community and wider state. I look forward to continuing to serve you as your local member of state parliament.

Wishing you a safe and prosperous 2010.

Peter Abetz

My Pledge...

While I have the honour of serving as your Member of Parliament, these are some of the urgent local issues I will pursue on your behalf. Peter Abetz
