Constituency questions
Western Victoria Region
Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (12:46): (1424) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure Gabrielle Williams. Minister, last week the state and federal governments announced that they are investing more than $4 billion towards transforming Sunshine station, including with extra platforms and a dedicated spur line that will make it the hub for regional rail services connecting to Melbourne Airport. We know that this will alleviate the travel pressure for people coming from the west and indeed from all other parts of Victoria into the Melbourne Airport. It will take pressure off the reliance on car parking at the airport as well. This is very much welcomed. My question to the minister is: how will these investments benefit people from Western Victoria Region?
