Constituency questions
South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:38): (1640) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and it concerns the Allan Labor government’s landmark Metro Tunnel project. We know – especially constituents of mine in the south-east and indeed constituents of colleagues in the west – that this is going to be a transformational change to our rail network with the Pakenham and Cranbourne line linking through to the Sunbury line through the brand new Metro Tunnel, which is of course opening a year ahead of schedule. But the question today concerns the Frankston line for other constituents of mine in the south-east. I ask the minister to update the house on how the new Metro Tunnel will support and improve services on the Frankston line.
