Wendouree electorate
Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (14:55): (674) My constituency question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure regarding disability access at the Ballarat train station, a timely question following the excellent session today with the Victorian Disability Advisory Council. As a part of the Regional Rail Revival program, I was so proud that the Ballarat line upgrade delivered a second platform and track at the Wendouree station as well as an accessible pedestrian overpass, but I know there is always more to do. That is why the Allan Labor government is delivering the Ballarat station upgrade by 2026. My question for the minister is: how will the Ballarat station upgrade improve accessibility to train services and the station precinct for my community? We look forward to developing a further understanding in greater detail from the Level Crossing Removal Project delivery agency about this project. I look forward to receiving the minister’s response on this project, which will be transformative for my community, particularly for people with disability.
