In 2011 the electorate of Southern River has continued to grow in numbers as new housing developments open up.  The electorate continued to receive State Government funding for many worthwhile projects.

Across our schools there were new buildings opened at Campbell Primary School for their new early childhood classrooms and administration block, four more primary schools joined the State government’s independent schools program and a number of schools received air-conditioning.

Mid-year a comprehensive Main Roads report into the infamous Nicholson Rd/Yale Rd/ Garden St roundabout was completed which has recommended modifications to the roundabout by the introduction of slip roads, allowing turning traffic to bypass the roundabout completely.  I have taken the Minister for Transport to the roundabout have spoken to him to ensure that funding is released to the local councils to fast-track the much anticipated roundabout modifications. Pedestrian islands on Forest Lakes Drive, median islands on Amherst Road, floodlights at Sutherlands Park Oval and illuminated school 40km/h signs for many of our local schools have been completed this year.There is more to do, and I will continue to work with everyone in Southern River to make our local area an even better place to live.

As we celebrate Christmas and enjoy the summer holidays, I would like wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas and a very Happy New Year in 2012.

Best wishes,
