O’Connor Biofuel Refinery

Let us agree to a co-op biofuel refinery in the Great Southern. This will support our local oil seed growers and generate diesel fuel for use by the agriculture and horticultural sectors. By reducing fuel operating costs farmers will in turn be more sustainable. Remember GAP also stands for Greater Agricultural Production!

ANZAC Express Passenger Service

Let us agree to establishing the York to Albany passenger train service again? We could use local engineers, craftsmen and painters to create ANZAC themed carriages in an early 1900’s style. The ANZAC Express would also lead to further economic activity along the line as sidings can be revitalised.

O’Connor Single Use Plastics Processing

Let us agree to establishing single-use plastic processing facilities to turn waste plastic into electricity. Technology now exists where plastics can be cleanly combusted. Combustion of such systems has been tested and it is as clean as natural gas as a fuel source.

Public Aged Care Facilities

Let us agree to the construction of additional public aged care facilities throughout the electorate? We can have consultation from the community to identify sites most in need and these could be fast tracked.

Homeless Care Facilities

Let us agree to creating homeless / emergency shelter and care dormitories in our major centres. Dormitories could have shared facilities and a caretaker. This will provide shelter for our most vulnerable and provide access to social service workers.

Immigrant Training

Let us agree to ensure that immigrant workers who are placed into workplaces are reviewed for competency before placement. This will remove the burden of training from business and public facilities and allow skill development for the immigrant where identified.

South Coast and Albany Highway Upgrades

Let us agree to upgrade the South Coast Highway to allow for safe overtaking and better traffic flow as a priority. That Albany Highway is upgraded to duel carriageway over its entire length.
