Former Bass Coast mayor Jordan Crugnale is the new MP for Bass. By Phil Wright
FOR the first time in history, Bass Coast Shire has an ALP representative in Parliament. To make the story more unbelievable, the ALP has a strong state majority and is likely to be in power for at least eight years.
There is now an opportunity for Bass Coast to ride on the back of the election promises and deliver a long-term sustainable plan. The objectives are clear: increase social inclusion, protect beaches and wildlife, reduce the domination of private cars, develop high quality environmental destinations – Inverloch and Phillip Island – and develop Wonthaggi as a booming regional town.
