 Steve McGHIE (Melton) (14:54): (1395) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Could the minister please provide an update on the progress of the Coburns Road level crossing removal in my electorate of Melton? I want to begin by thanking the minister for coming out to Melton recently. It meant a great deal to the local residents to have the opportunity to share their experiences directly and to see firsthand the progress of the work the government is delivering. Melton is genuinely excited that all three level crossings in my electorate – at Exford Road, Ferris Road and Coburns Road – are all being removed. Along with the delivery of the brand new Melton station, these projects will transform the way our community moves every day. Coburns Road plays a critical role in connecting residents to transport, education and local services. As our community continues to grow, families need better links to important local schools like Al Iman College, Melton Christian College and Staughton College to support safe and accessible travel for students and families. Minister, the community is excited and grateful for this investment. Could the minister provide an update on the progress of the Coburns Road level crossing removal?

The SPEAKER: Member for Melton, an update is an action. I would ask you to rephrase your constituency question to be a question.

Steve McGHIE: When could the minister provide a progress report on the Coburns Road level crossing removal?
