Western Metropolitan Region
David ETTERSHANK (Western Metropolitan) (12:50): (405) My constituency question is also for the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. My constituent is a resident of Melton and dependent on public transport for her daily commute. She was first concerned that delaying the airport and Geelong fast rail projects would have a knock-on effect to the Western Rail Plan, which includes the electrification of the Melton line, and then became deeply concerned by media reports recently that pointed to leaked documents showing the plan may have been axed altogether. So my constituent asks: can the minister confirm whether the electrification of the Melton line will proceed and the likely time line for the delivery of that project?
