 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (19:15): (2483) My adjournment is for the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Minister Shing. The Suburban Rail Loop is a city-changing project, changing how thousands of Victorians move around Melbourne. This will give students, tourists and commuters direct train connections to universities, including Monash University in my electorate of Southern Metro, and major employment hubs. The SRL East will connect more people to Melbourne’s largest innovation hubs outside the CBD, with stations at Box Hill, Deakin University, Glen Waverley, Monash University, Clayton and Cheltenham. With this new train connection Victorians can expect frequent and reliable rail services to these major precincts, eliminating time spent in traffic and lowering congestion on major roads. This project is building a stronger future for Victoria. The action that I seek is for the minister to join me onsite to meet current SRL project workers who proudly studied at Monash University.
