RETURNING Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe has guaranteed the constituents of the Yarra Ranges that every promise made during the state election campaign will be honoured, sooner rather than later.
"We will work through getting all our commitments delivered as quick as possible, but I can guarantee that every one of the promises for Evelyn will be met."
Ms Fyffe, who is set for a third term in parliament, said she was surprised her winning margin, according to the latest Victorian Electoral Commission results, had increased to more than 13 per cent.
She said she looked forward to working on several key priorities including better access to mental health services, a reliable and improved public transport service and improved speech therapy services to schools.
"In regard to mental health, we need to ensure that the funding actually reaches those on the ground through better management of services and more accessibility for the people, especially our youth."
Ms Fyffe said increased reliability and frequency of train and bus services was high among her priorities.
"First we have to fix the basics: make the tracks and signals work in order to decrease the number of cancellations."
She said the presence of armed officers to be placed at each station at night would ensure that commuters, particularly the elderly and women, would feel safe.
