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.
