THANK YOU!
After such a long campaign there are many people that need to be thanked.
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY who have been part of the campaign for over last 14 years including those who wrote submissions to recent the DAL Hearing. Your voice has finally been heard.
It is not often that we say thank you to politicians as a lot of the good work they do is behind the scenes and goes unnoticed:
Thank you Darren Cheeseman MP who reignited our hope that Spring Creek could be saved.
Thank you Damien Cole who stood as an Independent candidate to push both major parties to get the best deal for Spring Creek – support from the Premier.
Thank you Premier Dan Andrews who kept his promise – “ Duffields Road is the boundary, not one foot further. I can’t be any clearer than that – that will be the town boundary, there will be no development beyond that.”
Thank you Richard Wynne MP for acknowledging the community’s wishes and the need to protect our environment.
Thank you Andy Meddick MP who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes and kept us informed and also spoke at the DAL hearing.
Thank you Libby Coker MP who stood up to Mathew Guy as a councilor and Mayor in support of protection for Spring Creek and also spoke at the DAL hearing.
And thank you to the Surf Coast Shire councilors: Kate Gazzard, Liz Pattison, Rose Hodge, Adrian Schonfelder, Mike Bodsworth and Libby Stapleton who proposed and voted to include their support for Option 2 in the SCS’s submission. (those councilors not mentioned did not).
