Albert Park electorate
Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (14:51): (255) My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, and I ask: how will the Metro Tunnel directly benefit community members in the electorate of Albert Park? I had the pleasure of joining the Premier, the minister and a colleague for Southern Metropolitan Region in the other place for one of the first drives through the Metro Tunnel. Two weeks ago the first test train successfully entered the Metro Tunnel, travelling from South Yarra to Anzac Station under St Kilda Road. The testing program is to make sure the Metro Tunnel is safe and ready to open to passengers in 2025 – a year ahead of schedule. We know that this will change the way Victorians travel across our city, and I am looking forward to hearing how these changes will directly benefit constituents in Albert Park.
