How
long
have
you
been
in
business?
Nary:
For
one
year
now.
It
was
the
friendly
people
that
attracted
us.
Before
we
bought
this
business
I
was
a
book
keeper
for
6
years.
My
husband
still
works
full
time
for
a
printing
company
and
then
helps
me
after
hours.

What
are
the
key
deliverables
from
promises
made
at
the
state
election
that
are
most
relevant
to
residents
of
Aspendale
Gardens
?
In
addition
to
some
of
the
key
priorities
regarding
education,
TAFE,
ambulance
services
and
local
transport,
we
have
a
few
key
local
commitments
as
well,
which
include:
Supporting
local
jobs
and
skills:
The
Government
has
introduced
its
Back
to
Work
plan,
which
will
provide
up
to
$100
million
in
relief
to
businesses
hiring
unemployed
youth,
the
long-term
unemployed
and
retrenched
workers,
to
help
create
at
least
100,000
jobs.
Protecting
our
open
space
and
Green
Wedge:
We
are
committed
to
maintaining
and
strengthening
the
integrity
of
Victoria's
Green
Wedges,
and
legislating
for
a
permanent
urban
growth
boundary.
The
Green
Wedges
are
the
result
of
careful
long
term
planning
to
preserve
the
livability
of
Melbourne
and
are
the
lungs
of
the
city,
encompassing
important
agricultural
land
and
natural
conservation
areas
as
well
as
various
major
utilities
and
small
towns.
Rebuilding
Edithvale
CFA
Fire
Station:
The
Government
has
committed
$2.5
million
to
rebuild
Edithvale
CFA
and
support
our
hard
working
firefighters
who
work
tirelessly
to
keep
the
local
community
safe.
Recently,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
again
visit
the
Edithvale
CFA
with
the
Minister
for
Emergency
Services
to
reaffirm
the
Governments
commitment
to
the
project
giving
certainty
to
the
brigade
and
more
than
100
volunteer
members
regarding
their
long
term
future.
