January 23, 2012
Childcare in Yarram is another step closer following the announcement of $900,000 to progress the project.
The Nationals Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has commended Wellington Shire Council for making childcare in Yarram a priority and allocating $900,000 of its recent Local Government Infrastructure Program allocation to the proposed community hub to be built in Grant Street.
Mr Chester said the Shire had completed a feasibility study to determine what services should be included in the community hub but would need additional funding before construction could begin.

 HIGHWAY SAFETY NEEDS MORE FUNDING: CHESTER
January 20, 2012
Increased government funding is required to improve safety levels on the Princes Highway throughout Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley, according to Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester.
The local MP’s campaign for increased funding has been given a boost with the latest safety data indicating that the highway in Gippsland poses a greater risk than many other parts of the state.
AusRAP’s (Australian Road Assessment Program) Rating Australia’s National Network for Risk report has identified the Princes Highway east between Warragul and Sale as having a high collective risk rating. The Rosedale to Sale section was also recognised in the report as one of the worst links in the state.
