Manor Lakes railway station – Submission of Petition – Delivered in Parliament 12 March 2014
To the Legislative Assembly of Victoria:
- The petition of certain residents and users of Manor Lakes (Wyndham Vale, Victoria), draws attention to the Legislative Assembly the implications for the local community should the new regional rail link station being built off Manor Lakes Boulevard be named Wyndham Vale instead of Manor Lakes.
- The local community is severely concerned about the effect this will have on the developing community which lies at the centre of what is currently Australia’s largest growth area. The area is commonly known as Manor Lakes to the wider Wyndham community.
- The station will serve students attending Manor Lakes College, a facility for some 2500 students, and is adjacent to the Manor Lakes aged-care facility, the Manor Lakes Football Club and Manor Lakes Central shopping centre.
- The name Manor Lakes is widely known and accepted as such within the Wyndham community and defines the location within the much larger Wyndham Vale area.
- The petitioners, therefore, request that the Legislative Assembly of Victoria gives an unqualified commitment to ensuring that the name Manor Lakes station is adopted.
