Better public transport
Cardinia calls for integrated, well planned public transport.
We’re calling for all levels of government to help Cardinia to thrive.
We’re passionate about projects that are wanted and needed by our community.
We understand how important it is for your priorities to be heard, and for your priorities to shape the future of our great shire.
Throughout 2020 and 2021 we undertook our largest ever community consultation through our ‘Imagine Cardinia’ project. We asked for your feedback and ideas on the issues that mattered to you.
This feedback has helped ensure that our 2022-2023 advocacy priorities reflect your aspirations and focus on raising awareness and generating support for the priorities most important to you.
We look forward to continuing to work with all levels of government to see your priorities delivered.
