South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:43): My constituency question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. The sounds of boom gates and bells ringing will soon be a thing of the past in Mordialloc, with works now well underway to replace the level crossing at McDonald Street, Mordialloc, as well as Station Street in Aspendale. It is wonderful to see the foundations of the new rail bridge that will remove these level crossings, and I commend the work of the hardworking member for Mordialloc in engaging with his community. I have had the opportunity to go out with him and talk to members of the community about how this project will benefit them but also about how those interim impacts can be best managed, and I note his dedication in this space. My question to the minister is: how will the Level Crossing Removal Project in Mordialloc benefit local residents and commuters alike?
