 Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:54): (1223) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and my question is: how will West Tarneit station help connect local workers with Melbourne’s CBD? Melbourne’s west is growing rapidly, and continued investment in infrastructure is essential to keep up with this growth. The new West Tarneit station, which is set to open late next year, will make a real difference for our community. Site establishment works are currently underway, preparing the area for shovels to be in the ground very soon. The station will feature parking for up to 400 commuters, a four-bay bus interchange and safe pedestrian and cycling paths to make it easier for residents to commute to the station each morning. This project will ease pressure on local roads, reduce travel times and offer more convenient public transport options for residents, especially those living in Riverdale and Tarneit North. It is an investment in better connectivity and in the future of our growing community.
