Northern Metropolitan Region MLC Evan Mulholland (pictured) has called on the State Government to fund the reopening of the Beveridge Railway Station.
Mr Mulholland said Beveridge has \u201chad a strong history of rail infrastructure dating back to 1872, before it was cruelly closed by the Cain Labor Government, with the station demolished by the Kirner Labor Government in 1991.\u201d.
Mr Mulholland said the Allan Labor Government must \u201cundo this historic Labor wrong by reopening the Beveridge railway station.\u201d
\u201cLast year, the State Government announced that Mitchell Shire would be expected to more than triple its housing stock by a massive 312 per cent.
\u201cA few months ago the State Government approved between Beveridge and Wallan 15,000 homes. That is 50,000 people.\u201d
Mr Mulholland criticised the Government for providing \u201cno plans for how these residents are going to commute or get around the local area by funding new infrastructure \u2013 not one cent for new infrastructure.\u201d
\u201cThe Government has consistently neglected Beveridge, they wait 45 minutes in the morning to get off Lithgow St [calling it] Kalkallo mark II, where the government has not learned its lessons in delivering growth suburbs.\u201d
\u201cIt has completely botched the delivery of growth suburbs. The population of Beveridge has increased by nearly 20 times since the Cain and Kirner Government closed the railway station,\u201d Mr Mulholland said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
