With the health of Vasse River suffering, I will take immediate action to transfer the responsibility for managing Vasse River and the Geographe waterways to a single agency with the power to implement decisions.

Under the plan, responsibility for the supply of water to Dunsborough will be transferred from the Water Corporation to Busselton Water to ensure a more affordable, more reliable water service, saving residents around $270 a year.

We will invest $10 million into a Mental Health Observation Area at Busselton Hospital and a dedicated Safe Haven café in the region, which provides specialist mental health care for people not suffering a crisis to reduce the pressure on emergency departments.

We are committed to recruiting an extra 1200 police officers in WA, including two dedicated Youth Police Officers for the Busselton- Dunsborough area, to ensure our police force is properly staffed.

Our plan to fast-track the regional road safety program will also create more than 4500 direct and indirect jobs, boosting regional training and employment opportunities.

We will provide free public transport for seniors and school-aged students, saving families hundreds of dollars per year, while increasing the Country Aged Pension Fuel Card to $625 a year to help pensioners in regional areas get to appointments.

Our water policy will also save Dunsborough residents about $270 a year on average while our new energy policy will create renewable, more affordable sources of energy cutting power costs significantly.

Our homeless plan includes building an additional 4600 housing units in the next five years, including 2000 new builds with a commitment that at least 25 per cent built in the regions.

We will also introduce stamp duty concessions for seniors to encourage them to downsize, opening up more housing opportunities for families.

Our energy policy also commits to zero net state government emissions (not private sector) and creating the world's longest electric vehicle network.

We have committed $1m to the Busselton Football Club to upgrade the club rooms and ablutions and $1m towards basketball courts for the region.
