Parkville train station

Josh BULL (Sunbury) (13:03): Last week I was absolutely delighted to take a number of representatives from local groups into the incredible Parkville station, one of five brand new stations to open as part of the Metro Tunnel project next year. It was terrific to be with representatives from Fire Rescue Victoria, the Country Fire Authority, the Victoria State Emergency Service, seniors groups, schools and neighbourhood houses and more to tour the brand new station. I particularly want to give a shout-out to Meredith Heily, one of the invitees who has been working in the hospital precinct for many years. Meredith has been watching construction on the project from her office window for some time, and she was absolutely thrilled to head down to the station to explore what will be next year and to discuss the way that she and so many others will travel thanks to this state-shaping project.
