Labor: Marie Andrews

I have lived on the Woy Woy Peninsula for 20 years and have been actively working for the community in the areas of health, youth, education, seniors and public transport.

During my time as your Local Member, I have worked hard to achieve better services, such as:

Upgrades of Brisbane Water Secondary College - Umina and Woy Woy campuses, Umina and Ettalong Public Schools; * Renovation of bathrooms and toilets and refurbishment of general wards at Woy Woy Hospital, as well as funding for a transitional care unit; * Woy Woy Dental Clinic; * Extension of the $2.50 Pensioner Excursion Ticket to cover private buses on the Central Coast; * Improvements to the Woy Woy Rail/Bus interchange and extensions to the commuter carpark; * Upgrading of Woy Woy Police Station which is a 24 hour/7 days per week service; * Umina Fire Station; * Over $100 million for Gosford Hospital redevelopment including surgical admissions centre, MRI machine and new children's ward; * Supporting the PCYC in Umina; * Woy Woy Children's Court; * Providing increased breast screening facilities; * Working to ensure continued access for local residents to the Ettalong foreshore. I have also successfully fought to save over 100 homes on the Peninsula from being acquired by Gosford Council and I am currently fighting to stop council's unreasonable rate hike.

With your support I will continue to vigorously campaign for the needs of residents in this electorate.
