Constituency questions

Melton electorate


Melton electorate

Mr McGHIE (Melton) (12:53): (1948) My constituency question is to the Minister for Public Transport. Last year I was delighted to attend the opening of the new Cobblebank station in my electorate of Melton. The brand-new station for the growing new suburbs in Melton is complemented by the brand-new 454 bus route and expanded services on other existing bus routes servicing the community and has been welcomed by my electorate. My constituents in Melton South and those using the existing historic Melton train station have however been affected by the change in platform due to the Ballarat line upgrade, which has provided much-needed extra services for growing communities along the line. This change in platform has been a concern for many of my constituents due the majority of facilities being located on the previous platform. Minister, are there any improvements that can be made to help the commuters in Melton using the historic Melton train station?
