Tarneit electorate

 Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:39): (1701) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. Minister, when can constituents in my electorate of Tarneit expect to see longer nine-car trains on the Wyndham Vale line? In this year’s budget we promised to introduce additional capacity on the busy Wyndham Vale line. That capacity is thanks to $14.8 million, which will put longer nine-car trains on the line during peak times. If you have ever tried to catch a train in Tarneit during peak periods, you will know just how invaluable these upgrades will be. With 50 per cent additional capacity on each of these services, it will be easier than ever to catch the train. I have said in this place before that Tarneit is one of the fastest growing suburbs anywhere in Victoria. That is why we are building and upgrading the vital infrastructure to keep our suburbs running. It is fantastic to be part of a government which is focused on investing in our western suburbs, not cutting funding from them. I look forward to being able to share this news with my community, who are incredibly eager to hear about when they will see these improvements on the line.
