About one month out from the November Victorian election, the Coalition has committed to building a new ambulance station in Benalla, replacing a facility that is almost 40 years old.

State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland said local paramedics were working out of a station that was letting them down.

“Our paramedics have had to manually open broken garage doors and park ambulances out the front. That’s not good enough when every minute counts,” Ms Cleeland said.

“When someone calls 000, they need to know help is on its way.

“Our paramedics need facilities that help them respond quickly, not slow them down.”

She said a modern station would also help Benalla to retain its experienced paramedics.

“Our paramedics work incredibly hard, often in very difficult circumstances, caring for people across Benalla and the surrounding region,” Ms Cleeland said.

“Giving them a decent place to work is critical to retaining skilled staff and maintaining a strong local service.

“Only a Liberal and Nationals government will deliver the new station Benalla deserves. We will back the people who answer the call.”
