Adjournment
Gayle TIERNEY (Western Victoria – Minister for Skills and TAFE, Minister for Water) (18:37): The question is:
That the house do now adjourn.
Croydon train station
Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (18:37): (1879) My adjournment matter this evening is to the minister for transport. For many years now the Victorian government has remained committed to the removal of level crossings across the state. This is to improve the safety for motorists, pedestrians and passengers on public transport, as well as to alleviate the traffic congestion not only in the present but for years to come. Croydon train station has been one of the many across the state to benefit from these changes. Delivered by the Allan Labor government in August 2024, Croydon station has had not only a congested level crossing at Coolstore Road removed but the Coolstore Road roundabout removed and a new transport hub also constructed. With the completion of works at Croydon station, the Lilydale line became the very first train line in Melbourne to be completely free of level crossings. The action I seek is for the minister to provide insight into what future steps may be taken to maintain this new infrastructure at Croydon in coming years, not only in Croydon but across the North-Eastern Metropolitan Region.
