Constituency questions
Broadmeadows electorate
Broadmeadows electorate
Mr McGUIRE (Broadmeadows) (11:57): (5814) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Can the Department of Transport investigate the construction of a pedestrian-cyclist bridge at the Broadmeadows railway station? This would be part of a redevelopment of the station itself, which is strategically really important, and also would be part of the comeback strategy on how we actually recover from recession and from the pandemic. It is really critical because this would actually provide a bridge between the civic centre and the new jobs centre that we want for Broadmeadows. Infrastructure is obviously really important in how that is done and is just part of the new vision strategy and advocacy to reimagine Broadmeadows. We all know how significant it is. This is where CSL will manufacture the crucial ingredient in 50Â million vaccines. It is how we will bring back the jobs. This is really important right now to see it as a new epicentre of national importance.
