Glen Waverley electorate
John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (14:38): (1045) My question is directed to the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop. How is the Allan Labor government supporting Glen Waverley businesses through the construction period of the Suburban Rail Loop? Glen Waverley is renowned for its excellent and diverse range of restaurants and dining options across the Glen, Kingsway, Railway Parade and surrounding areas. From burgers and steak to Chinese, Malaysian, Korean and Japanese, as well as various bubble tea and bar options, it truly is a magnificent place to visit for a meal. The construction of the Suburban Rail Loop means that traders are impacted, with foot traffic reduced and certain roads and parking blocked off. It is important that the state government supports the traders through this transition period. It was great to sit down with the Glen Waverley Traders Association last week to discuss all things Glen Waverley. I thank Mitchell Zadow, Craig Lane, Aret Arzadian and the team for their time. I encourage everyone to shop local and support our traders, who make Glen Waverley what it is: a vibrant and multicultural suburb.
