The new look Point Cook Action Group (PCAG) has outlined its objectives for the next year, with crime and better transport among the top priorities.
New president Karthick Thanigaimani said that the group is passionate about shaping a brighter future for the suburb.
In terms of transport, Mr Thanigaimani said the group will advocate for the duplication of Point Cook Road between Aircraft Station and more public parking at Williams Landing station.
The group will also push for expanded bus routes with more frequent timetables, the introduction of on demand mini buses, dedicated buses for public schools and increased train services.
To address community safety, PCAG will advocate for the more than 50 police job vacancies in Wyndham to be filled and security patrols to be instigated until they are filled.
Creating local jobs will also be on the radar.
“We will be advocating for activating the East Werribee Employment Precinct with IT parks, research hubs, and innovation centres to bring more local jobs and attract global talent,” Mr Thanigaimani said.
PCAG will also advocate for an indoor multipurpose sports stadium, an indoor pool and a multicultural arts and performance centre.
“That’s why our focus is on working closely with council, state ministers, and relevant government departments to make sure community needs are heard and acted on,” Mr Thanigaimani said.
He also said the group is keen for new members.
“These initiatives are designed to make Wyndham safer, better connected, and full of opportunities–but change happens when the community stands together.”
