Southern Metropolitan Region
Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:53): (1111) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. How is the state Labor government transforming transport networks in the Southern Metropolitan Region? Well, this week another milestone was achieved in the Labor government’s visionary upgrades of Melbourne’s transport network. The Metro Tunnel’s Anzac station on St Kilda Road became the third of the Metro station tunnels to be completed – just two more to finish ahead of the landmark opening of the tunnel in 2025, which is a year ahead of schedule. The Metro Tunnel is going to change the way Melburnians navigate our city from the northern suburbs to the south-east for years to come. Anzac station is going to relieve pressure on the world’s busiest tram corridor, and the new station will help get Melburnians to important events, including Anzac Day services at the shrine. Whether it is the Metro Tunnel or level crossing removals, this Labor government has a vision to improve the daily lives of Melburnians.
