My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. The action I seek is for the minister to provide an update on how the completion of the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds duplication rail project will benefit the electorate of the Bellarine.
I was down there on Sunday. It was great to witness the trains doing their test runs and to celebrate these upgrades, which include additional car parking spaces, additional platforms, improved shelter, accessible pedestrian overpasses, two level crossing removals and a duplication of more than 8 kilometres of track between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds station. It is a fantastic project, with great support from both federal government and our state government. I know these upgrades will have that lasting effect for the Bellarine commuters - both those on the train and those who are driving, with the removal of the level crossings. I look forward to being able to update my electorate on just how impactful these upgrades will be for them and now in years to come.
