I was also delighted to host the Minister for Regional Development in my electorate last week whilst being joined by many of my regional caucus colleagues.

Despite what many may say, we have a strong representation across regional Victoria with a clear and strong agenda for our regions and our rural areas.

Incredibly, this Labor government has made a record investment of $45 billion since 2014, making our regions the best places to live, work and visit.

I thank the minister for visiting and hearing directly from Bellarine’s small and medium businesses and stakeholders in the region.
