Constituency questions
South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:41): (1551) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and it concerns a very exciting development with the recent extension of route 798 further into Clyde North, which was extended just on Sunday, a few days ago – Mr Tarlamis and I are both very excited. It is one of four upgraded routes in and around the Casey and Cardinia area and the first to be rolled out, which is going to provide much improved service by extending that route into those newly established areas around the Smiths Lane estate and other estates in this very fast growing part of Clyde North. The area is growing, it is a wonderful thing to see, but with growing challenges. The provision of services such as these new bus routes are so important, and it is also wonderful to see that the route will be having a 20-minute frequency throughout the day. Minister, how will this route provide better services to my constituents in the south-east?
