South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

 Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:42): My constituency question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport. My constituent is a resident of Cranbourne. He is the vice-president of the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association, who continue to advocate for the Cranbourne train line extension. The densely populated City of Casey is rapidly growing. Existing infrastructure is inadequate and will not support projected growth. The combined population of Clyde and Clyde North is predicted to almost triple by 2031. During peak hour Clyde commuters travel up to 30 minutes to Cranbourne station, where the car park is often overflowing. Infrastructure Victoria projected that weekday passenger boardings at Cranbourne station will double in the next five years. So my constituent asks: will the minister ensure funding for the Cranbourne train line extension?
