Mordialloc electorate level crossing removals
Tim RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (16:33): I also want to acknowledge the Bear Street level crossing boom gates are gone for good. It is part of our plan to make Mordialloc level crossing free and the Frankston train line level crossing free by 2029. Many said that this was not possible, yet we see an investment like never before as we see the Frankston train line transformed into the future. We had 30 level crossings there when we came to government. We are seeing them knocked out left, right and centre. New stations have been built for Chelsea and Edithvale, with Aspendale not far away in a few years time. Mordialloc station will be built soon, and Parkdale station has been delivered. Mentone and Cheltenham stations – their level crossing removals have made a safer, more connected and inclusive community, and it is all part of how we are investing in the Mordialloc electorate and transforming it for the better.
