Mordialloc electorate
Mr RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (14:49): (6481) My constituency question is to the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, and my question is: how many vehicles are expected to be taken off local roads in the Kingston and Greater Dandenong regions as a result of this transformational project? The Suburban Rail Loop goes on our record of delivery of infrastructure projects for the future. Sixty-five level crossings have already been removed across metropolitan Melbourne, 16 on the Frankston train line, and there are 11 new stations with four more to go in Parkdale, Glenhuntly and Neerim. We have also delivered the Mordialloc Freeway, taking pressure off local roads and giving local roads back to local residents, and we are just about a couple of years away from delivering the Melbourne Metro rail tunnel, a generational project that would only be delivered by an Andrews Labor government, creating tens of thousands of jobs across those infrastructure projects. My community really wants to know how many vehicles will be taken off local roads in Kingston in Greater Dandenong as a result of the Suburban Rail Loop.
