Media release.

Peter Maynard local resident and community advocate has today announced that he will be a candidate in the upcoming Wyndham Anywhere City Council elections to be held in October 2012. I have lived in the municipality for over 30 years and in that time I have been a passionate and active advocate for the issues that are affecting the everyday lives of the residents. The explosive increase in land releases and population growth has far outstripped the provision of the infrastructure needed to service such an expanding city such as ours. Residents in the city of Wyndham are being choked by the lack of much needed improvements to public transport and improvements and upgrades to our stagnating road network, 'Mr Maynard said In order to help reduce the exodus of residents on a daily basis from the city to their place of work we need to also focus on supporting local businesses as well as new and emerging business employment opportunities. Our economic development unit needs to assist local business and help them to create strong and sustainable local employment opportunities for residents. In the long term this will have a profound effect on the road network as well as reducing the strain on our currently substandard public transport system, 'Mr Maynard said.

After speaking with many local residents I believe there are also a number of pressing issues that need to be addressed as a matter of urgency within this municipality. I have listed some that will be the focus of my attention if elected to council. I have a number of issues that I believe that are extremely important to the IRAMOO Ward and The City of Wyndham.

1. Full diamond interchange at Duncans Rd/Freeway
2. Removal of all Level Crossings in the city
3. Staged Upgrade and duplication of Ballan Road
4. Completion of Armstrong Road/Browns Road to the freeway
5. Upgrade to current Bus services
6. Renaming of the Regional Rail Link Station "Wyndham Vale" to Manor Lakes
7. Redesign of Greens Road/McGrath Road/Ballan Road roundabout/interchange to include controlled pedestrian crossing/s
8. Additional parking for Werribee CBD customers and local workers
