Labor
Labor is heading into the state election as the favourite to win with polls predicting a landslide for the party.
As part of the COVID-19 recovery, Labor made many announcements prioritising local jobs and promises to continue this if the party wins the election.
One of its major pledges towards local jobs is $10 million for a new Peel Food and Technology facility. The project would help diversify the agricultural industry.
In Peel, Labor would also cap the price of public transport to a standard two-zone fare if it wins the March state election.
Dawesville - Lisa Munday
Standing as Labor's candidate for the seat of Dawesville, Lisa Munday said the role would give her a new opportunity to help others on a bigger scale.
Mrs Munday said she was passionate about advocating for mental health, minimising Peel Health Campus ambulance ramping and wanted to ensure jobs were created for locals as the region recovered from the pandemic.
To date, she has announced funding for several projects including $135,000 to upgrade the Eastport Jetty in Port Bouvard to make it more accessible and $200,000 for camouflage cameras to minimise hoons and crime.
Mandurah - David Templeman
Labor MP David Templeman, who has held onto the Mandurah seat for 19 years, has been focusing on being a voice for community groups, turning around the Peel region's unemployment levels, addressing health concerns since his last election win.
Along with major investments such as the Peel Health Campus and new estuary bridge, Mr Templeman has announced funds for a number of community groups if re-elected.
Some of the investments include $165,000 for the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre and $52,300 for the Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club.
Murray-Wellington - Robyn Clarke
As the state election inches closer, Murray-Wellington MP Robyn Clarke has made announcements in regards to safer roads, growing the tourism sector, and creating local jobs.
The communities of Myalup, Binningup, Harvey and Preston Beach have been promised safer access to Forrest Highway, if re-elected. This investment would see new lanes to facilitate safer entry.
Labor is also set to invest $2.7 million to complete the final stage of bike trails within Dwellingup, which will qualify the trail at an international level.
Liberals
The Liberals are facing a Goliath battle against the Labor party at the election, after Premier Mark McGowan's approval rating soared to record highs. But the outcome of the March 13 election will show whether it was enough to secure the party a win.
The Liberal party has pledged to station a wildlife officer in Mandurah ahead of the election.
Mr Kirkup announced $250,000 for a boat and jetski for shallow water monitoring as well as "at least one dedicated officer to be stationed in Mandurah either permanently or rostered on rotation".
Creating more local jobs is also a key promise of the Liberals if the party is elected. Liberals have pledged within 100 days of coming to office, the McGowan government's WA Jobs Act will be rewritten.
In the Peel, contracts would be awarded within the Peel region, and then within the state only if no suitable tenderer is found.
Dawesville - Zak Kirkup
To Mr Kirkup, community comes first, which is why he said he would "make sure that we get the services and funding we deserve in our community".
Other than the additional estuary bridge, bolstering police numbers, and the Dawesville Community Centre he is advocating for a children's crossing in a 90km zone on Old Coast Road.
Along with this he is also set to work with local police to create a hoon rapid response unit in a bid to stop local roads being used as drag strips.
Mandurah - Ryan Burns
When Mandurah Mail sat down with Ryan Burns when he first became the Mandurah Liberals candidate he said he was passionate about investing more into Peel Health Campus, protecting Mandurah's waterways, bolstering police numbers, and backing local jobs.
His passions are highlighted in the Liberals funding commitments for Mandurah with the party investing in a number of projects including protecting waterways programs, and upgrading sporting equipment and facilities.
Mr Burns put a lot of focus on northern Mandurah ahead of the election, with the major promise for the area a pedestrian bridge from Madora Bay to Lakelands.
Murray-Wellington - Michelle Boylan
During her election campaign, Michelle Boylan emphasised the need for more police, a more detailed plan for tourism in the area, investing in local jobs, and the revitalisation of Murray-Wellington.
Ms Boylan is set to deliver $15 million to build a new Pinjarra police station, introduce the Rural Stock Squad to crack down on farm theft, and put the Hoon Response Group in place to tackle dangerous driving and illegal dirt bike activity.
If elected, the region will see the revitalisation of a number of areas including $2.2 million for new lighting at Pinjarra Paceway.
