Legislative Council of Victoria, Melbourne
David ETTERSHANK (Western Metropolitan):
My constituency question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure in the other place. My constituent is one of many thousands of Melbourne Airport workers living in the west who have no choice but to drive to work given the abysmal public transport options.
They were thrilled to see Melbourne Airport owners Australia Pacific Airports (Melbourne) finally agree to an above-ground station as part of an airport rail link and the mediator’s recommendation to continue the transformation of Sunshine into a major transport hub.
Sadly, the Premier has made clear yet again that this government prioritises the wealthier and better serviced eastern suburbs over the west and will forge ahead with the SRL East instead. As the Sunshine station master plan is now a ‘no regrets’ initiative, what is the government committing to do to make this project a reality and by when?
