Luke Donnellan MP State Member for Narre Warren North

Developing a transport plan

The Brumby Government is working on a comprehensive plan to build a better transport system for Victoria and it is important to hear from as many people as possible before making key decisions.

The transport plan, to be delivered by the end of the year, will take into account proposals for Melbourne's east-west corridor in the Eddington report and other transport priorities across the state.

This will help drive our economy, make our communities more liveable and our state more sustainable.

The Eddington report

In 2006, the Brumby Government asked Sir Rod Eddington to undertake a comprehensive study into improving east-west transport connections across Melbourne. In March 2008, the Eddington report was delivered.

Meeting transport challenges

The $10.5 billion Meeting our Transport Challenges  plan announced in 2006 started many of the projects essential to rebuild the transport network.

However, with 1200 people are now arriving in Victoria each week, climate change pressures to consider, many projects need to be accelerated, expanded and new projects need to be considered.

A lot has been done, but there's more to do

Transport initiatives to benefit our area since 1999 include:

Road projects

• EastLink
• Extra lane on South Eastern Freeway 
• Hallam bypass
• $1.7 billion has been invested to improve roads throughout the City of Casey

Rail network improvements

• Upgrading of Narre Warren and Berwick stations to Premium Stations 
• Expansion of the Hallam Station car park
• Increasing peak services along the Pakenham line
• Building of a loop at Westall station to allow express services on the Pakenham Cranbourne lines
• Provision of stabling at Cranbourne Station to provide further peak hour services

Extended bus services

• Extension of operating hours on week nights and weekends on the 827, 834, 835, 841 and 926 routes
• Provision of a smart bus on Stud Rd
