Petitions

Following petition presented to house by Clerk:

Bus route 684

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the importance of the Yarra Valley bus service, Route 684, for community members which travels to and from Southern Cross Station to Eildon. Route 684 allows passengers easy access to Eastland, Southern Cross Station and key health services including St Vincent’s Hospital. Changing modes of transport disadvantages elderly, those with mobility issues, mental health concerns, workers and tourists.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly direct the Department of Transport to keep the existing bus service, Route 684, travelling to and from Eildon to Southern Cross Station.

By Ms McLEISH (Eildon) (497 signatures).

Tabled.

Ordered that petition be considered next day on motion of Ms McLEISH (Eildon).
