Western Metropolitan Region
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (14:10): (969) My constituency question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. At the moment Sunbury train station has no elevators for commuters to move between platforms. Instead it is a long, steep footbridge ramp. Accessibility for the disabled, the elderly and people with prams is a daily challenge. Could the minister please update my constituents on whether elevators will be installed between platforms at Sunbury station to provide better accessibility for commuters? With the Premier continuing to sign contracts worth billions of dollars for SRL, the Suburban Rail Loop, in the east, when will my elderly and disabled residents in the west have good accessibility at their train stations? Over a thousand Sunbury residents have signed petitions, and Hume city council supports the installation of elevators. This has been a long-running issue for years that neglects local residents, elderly and disabled residents at the end of the Metro line. It is time the Labor government stopped neglecting the west.
