After more than a week of vote counting, the Coalition was finally able to claim victory in the 2016 federal election on Sunday.

So what policies can central Victoria expect from the Turnbull government?

Malcolm Turnbull will need to rely on crossbenchers in the Senate for bills to pass, meaning he requires the support from the Nick Xenophon Team, or a collection of One Nation, Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party and the Jacqui Lambie Network.

With counting continuing, the Coalition might need the support of Bob Katter and Cathy McGowan in the lower house. The formation of the Senate could also change.

The Coalition’s biggest spending promise in the Bendigo electorate was $10 million to fix parts of the Calder Highway.

The funding is dependent on an equal contribution from the state government, and could be used to fix the highway anywhere from Melbourne’s outskirts to Bendigo.

Wesley Hill sporting hub in Castlemaine received a $1.9 million pledge for the second stage, including a multi-purpose pavilion.

The Coalition also promised $250,000 to upgrade the Kyneton showgrounds. The project remains in the early stages, with no concept designs released yet and will be largely dependent on state and council funding.

In Bendigo, $245,000 in extra CCTV cameras in Hargreaves Mall is expected to flow. The funding is standalone, meaning it can go ahead without the need for extra funds from the state or council.

The upgrade of the Soldiers Memorial Institute on Pall Mall received a $1.7 million commitment from both the Coalition and Labor.

During a visit to Bendigo, environment minister Greg Hunt also announced two Green Army projects for the electorate, costing $500,000 – one for Lake Eppalock, and one for a riverbank near Maldon.

The clubrooms at Canterbury Park in Eaglehawk was promised $15,000 for new solar panels.

Labor promised to roll out fibre-to-the-premises NBN to 10,000 homes in Bendigo, followed by an upgrade of the fibre-to-the-node network.

They lost the election however, meaning Bendigo can look forward to three more years of the NBN roll out under the Coalition.

This means fibre-to-the-node for all premises in Bendigo by 2020, according to their election promise.

The Coalition says 11,000 premises in Bendigo have access to the NBN, and 60,000 will be either complete or under construction by September 2018.

During a visit to Bendigo, communications minister Mitch Fifield made the claim that their nationwide NBN roll out would be “$30 billion cheaper” and be achieved “six to eight years sooner” than Labor. Labor disputed the claim.

Three NBN fixed wireless towers in the Bendigo electorate – at Eppalock, Goornong and Huntly North – were switched on just days out from the election.

A plan to pay job seekers $200 per fortnight to undertake internships formed the basis of the Coalition’s employment policy.

Under the Jobs PaTH program, the payment will be on top of regular income support and is available to 120,000 people under the age of 25.

Businesses will also receive a payment of between $6500 and $10,000 to take on eligible job seekers.

For apprentices, the Coalition will continue its Trade Support Loans scheme. Apprentices can apply for a $20,000 loan.

Small businesses with turnover less than $2 million can look forward to a 1.5 per cent tax cut, while unincorporated small businesses will receive a 5 per cent tax cut.

Any changes to penalty rates are dependent on the outcome of a Fair Work Commission inquiry.

Negative gearing will remain untouched, at least in the short-term, after the Coalition chose not to make any changes.

Labor had promised to restrict negative gearing to new houses only from July 1, 2017, while cutting the capital gains tax deduction from 50 to 25 per cent.

Instead, negative gearing and the capital gains tax will be retained.

There is unlikely to be a return to the national health agreement, meaning Bendigo Health will need to continue to fund its own preventative health programs.

Bendigo Health also missed out on an election commitment from either party for funding to relocate services from its out-of-date towers. The $52 million in funding will eventually need to flow as the buildings are no longer compliant.

The Coalition will continue the freeze on Medicare rebates.

Liberal candidate Megan Purcell promised to establish a “Central Victorian Ice Community Action Taskforce” within 100 days, but given her loss, that is unlikely to eventuate.

Bendigo will share in $4.84 million for drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, provided to the Murray Primary Health Network.

While not a federal issue, it was brought into the election campaign by the Coalition who saw the ongoing dispute as a vote winner.

They also made a few promises if they are returned to power.

These included: amending legislation to “protect volunteers and override Labor’s deal to hand control of the CFA to the firefighters union”.

The Coalition also promised to use “federal powers” in the Fair Work Commission and “the courts”.

It remains to be seen whether the federal government can have an impact on the dispute.

It’s back to the drawing board for a number of community groups who received funding promises from Labor, but not from the Coalition.

Labor’s $2 million funding commitment to upgrade the Bendigo Tennis Centre was not matched by the Coalition.

Their promise of $400,000 to preserve and replace ageing imperial dragon Sun Loong is also up in the air.

The Australian Emergency Management Institute at Mount Macedon will not be reopened. Labor promised $1.5 million to bring the institute back, but the Coalition did not come to the party.

The Gonski needs-based school funding model also appears to be on the scrap heap, despite Labor campaigning heavily to fund the plan. Instead, the Coalition will focus on “better teaching quality” and “more school autonomy”, with $3.5 billion less for schools than under Labor.

La Trobe University missed out on $46 million in funding for its Murray Darling Medical School plan, despite receiving a promise from the Nationals before the last election. Neither party funded the plan.

The City of Greater Bendigo had an extensive list of projects to be funded during the election campaign, but only the Soldiers Memorial Institute received a funding pledge from the Coalition.

These included funding for the Aspire precinct, Bendigo Tennis Centre and a feasibility study for the Heathcote Dementia Village.
