Please build the much needed public school(s) in Williams Landing, the gate of Wyndham City - one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Australia.

Williams Landing is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Victoria, Australia. Williams Landing had been identified by the state government as a Major Activity Centre and Priority Development Zone and is set to become a major social and commercial destination in Melbourne's west.

Williams Landing is a connecting point for two other fastest-growing suburbs: Point Cook and Truganina. Because of the location and transport infrastructure, most surrounding suburbs come into or bypass Williams Landing every day.

To accommodate the increased residential demand, Wyndham City Council approved numerous medium density (townhouses) and high density (apartments) developments in Williams Landing, apart from traditional houses. These will make Williams Landing one of the highest population density suburbs in Melbourne's west.

In 2020, according to forecast.id, Williams Landing's population had reached 9803.

A school in Williams Landing has been on Wyndham City Council's recommendation list to the Victorian state government for several years now. The Mayor of Wyndham City and Cr Aaron An wrote to the state government in early 2020 regarding the school issue but no real progress from the state government side.

We wish the State Government to fund this much-needed infrastructure as soon as possible.
