Constituency questions
South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:38): (1640) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and it concerns the Allan Labor government’s landmark Metro Tunnel project. We know – especially constituents of mine in the south-east and indeed constituents of colleagues in the west – that this is going to be a transformational change to our rail network with the Pakenham and Cranbourne line linking through to the Sunbury line through the brand new Metro Tunnel, which is of course opening, Mr Davis, a year ahead of schedule. But the question today concerns the Frankston line for other constituents of mine in the south-east. I ask the minister to update the house on how the new Metro Tunnel will support and improve services on the Frankston line.
