Williams Landing train station

Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (19:07): (674) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport. The action that I seek is for the minister to join me on a visit to Williams Landing station, where we have announced as part of the growth areas infrastructure contribution fund some wonderful works. I thank the member for Laverton, who recently joined me there as well, who has a strong interest in Williams Landing station, a shared station for both our communities, where we have committed to building a new lift and a Parkiteer on the southern side at Wallace Avenue. The existing Parkiteer at Williams Landing station is one of the most used in the state, but this one will serve a different part of the community: the Point Cook side. It will help with active transport, it will get more people on their bikes and on their scooters in there and it will help people to be able to get up those stairs and up that ramp quicker by using a lift. It is a wonderful thing for our community, and I look forward to the minister hopefully joining me.
