WE HAVE BEEN GREENVALE RESIDENTS FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS, BACK THEN IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE YOUNG UPCOMING SUBURB WITH ALOT OF POTENTIAL. UNFORTUNATELY ITS BECAME A VERY POOR PERFORMING SUBURB, AT THE TIME COULD HAVE BOUGHT A HOUSE IN ESSENDON WITH THE SAME MONEY AND TODAY WOULD BE WORTH IN EXCESS OF $2MILLION PLUS, IN GREENVALE WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET $800,000. WE ARE THE FORGOTTEN SUBURB NEGLEGTED BY STATE GOVERNMENT AND SEVERELY PUNSHINED FOR NOT BEEN A MARGINAL SEAT WHERE ALL OUR TAXES ARE PUMPED INTO TIGHT ELECTORATES AND WE HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED BY HUME COUNCIL. FOR OVER 25 YEARS THE GREENVALE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION HAVE FOUGHT HARD TO GET A STATE HIGH SCHOOL, MORE RELIABLE TRANSPORT, TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON THE CORNER OF FLEETWOOD AND SOMERTON RD AND SO MANY OTHER ISSUES AND STILL NOTHING. OUR HOUSE PRICES REPLECTS THIS AND THE DEMAND IS VERY LOW COMPARED TO OTHER SUBURBS THATS WHY THEY BRAG ABOUT BUYING "CHEAP" REST ASSURE WHEN TIME COMES TO SELL YOU WILL SELL CHEAP. WE HAVE NOTHING WE ARE NO LONGER THE SHIRE OF BULLA, CANNOT BELIEVE OUR SUBURB IS STILL SERVICED BY A HUME LIBRARY BUS TWICE A WEEK, WHILE CRAIGIEBURN AND BROADMEADOWS HAVE A STATE OF THE ART LIBRARY AND MANY OTHER FACILITYS. GREENVALE RESIDENTS NEED TO VOTE FOR OPPOSITION TO START GETTING MUCH NEEDED FUNDS INTO THE SUBURB, WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE ON WEAR OUR LOSES LIKE SO MANY OTHER RESIDENTS. GREENVALE DESPRATELY REQUIRES INFRASTRUCTURE OR IT WILL CONTINUE AS IT HAS FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS IN A TIME CAPSULE, AND WATCH YOUR RATES/TAXES INVESTED INTO OTHER SUBURBS TO HAVE THE SERVICES. 30 YEARS AGO WE WERE PROMISED ALOT AND GOT NOTHING, WELCOME TO GREENVALE.
