THE federal opposition’s spokesman for infrastructure, transport, cities and regional development Anthony “Albo” Albanese, will get the lowdown on Frankston when he attends a “roundtable lunch” at the McClelland Gallery on Thursday 27 July.
Mr Albanese will address members and guests of the Committee for Greater Frankston, including Frankston and Mornington Peninsula local government representatives, and is likely to outline more about his recently announced City Partnerships program, which he said would foster “genuine collaboration between the three levels of government” to tackle “urban sprawl, traffic congestion and a shift towards greater population density”.
Committee CEO Ginevra Hosking said Mr Albanese would be asked how a Labor federal government would assist decision-makers deal with “Frankston’s hot issues, including access to jobs, nurturing successful competitive industry sectors in health and advanced manufacturing, extending the metropolitan train line, and improving car parking”.
