I have fought for many needs for our suburb.
Some media covering these efforts over the years:

Mr Hooper said it was time the government and opposition came up with “out-of-the-box ideas” to improve Point Cook.
“We want them to come back with what they plan to do about our concerns. We know there is no silver bullet. What we want is a plan put in place for the future,” he said.
“The planning to date has been like a jigsaw puzzle – it’s not consistent.
“The community is suffering as a result. There are long-term issues that need to be addressed,” Mr Hooper said.

Tony Hooper from Point Cook Action Group (PCAG) said the pirate playground was one of the few local parks that catered to the community.
“This park was an icon in the area,” he told 774 ABC Melbourne‘s Jon Faine.
A protest in September saw children dress as pirates and stand atop a yacht parked outside the Wyndham Civic Centre.

Wyndham councillor Tony Hooper said he was a strong advocate for a Point Cook police station, and would also like to see another police station in Wyndham Vale.
“We know that the [Werribee] police station is getting upgraded and that’s great … but that doesn’t take away the broader needs.
“The growth of Wyndham is projected to go nuts out that [Wyndham Vale] way.
“Given that we know where the growth is going to be … I’d hate to see a repeat of what Point Cook and other areas are going through and actually start talking about a cop shop in that area now, well before it’s needed, so that in 10 or 20 years’ time when it eventuates, the land has been put aside, the budget’s been put aside, the officers have been trained.”
