MONASH: MP doubles down on Suburban Rail Loop
Glen Waverley MLA John Mullahy is defiantly supporting the Suburban Rail Loop East, backing Premier Jacinta Allan’s commitment to the $30 billion-plus project.
“ The Suburban Rail Loop is a transformational project which will shape our state for years to come,” Mr Mullahy said.
“Whether it be Berlin, Paris, London, Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore, most advanced metro networks across the world have a loop connecting the various suburbs and train lines within each city.
“The Allan Labor Government also understands the vital need to make this significant investment into Victoria’s future.
“Not only will the Suburban Rail Loop bring communities together, take cars off the roads, boost local economies and slash travel times, it will enable some 70,000 new homes to be built.”
The $30 billion project between Cheltenham and Box Hill is expected to open in 2035. North and West links are yet to commence.
