Darren Chester seeks re-election to keep delivering jobs, services, infrastructure and local projects for Gippsland
Darren Chester is seeking re-election, pledging continued delivery of local jobs, services, infrastructure, and community projects to make Gippsland the best place to live, work, visit, and raise a family.
As the only candidate with a proven track record of delivering for our community, I'm asking all Gippslanders to consider giving me their number one vote at the election. I love Gippsland, and I'm proud to have raised my family in our beautiful part of the world.

Gippsland future plans
By working with the community, I've been able to deliver record funding for large and small projects, major improvements to local services, and given our region a strong voice on local and national issues.
Projects like $400 million for the duplication of the Princes Highway between Traralgon and Sale; $385 million to redevelop East Sale RAAF Base into the home of pilot training; $500 million for Gippsland rail upgrades; and $50 million for the modernisation of Macalister Irrigation District didn't just happen.
It took experience, determination and commitment from my team to advocate on behalf of our community and deliver the results we needed. I have the passion and energy to keep getting results for Gippsland. We need to keep putting locals first, supporting one another, and building an even better Gippsland.
Community, jobs and improvement
My plan is to keep working to make our community the best place in regional Australia to live, work, visit and raise a family. If I'm successful at the Federal election, you can trust me to keep working hard to deliver:
- More jobs for local people
- Government policies to protect our national security and keep Australians safe in a changing world
- Lower cost of living for Gippsland families
- Funding for recovery from fires, floods and droughts
- Better schools, hospitals, aged care, disability and childcare services
- Better, safer roads and rail services
- Improved mobile phone and telecommunication services
- Practical and sustainable policies to protect our rivers, lakes, coast and unique natural environment
- Investment in tracks, trails, bike paths and facilities for locals and the visitor economy
- Local sporting and community projects to improve our lifestyle
In this job, there's always more to be done, and I would be honoured to continue as your representative in Federal Parliament.
