what we stand for
Transport & Roads
Scrap the SRL and Fund the West.
Faster roads, seamless freeway access
Frequent, reliable trains and buses
Deliver real infrastructure, not promises
The severe lack of adequate or reliable transport options in the West is appalling. We must stop the spending on the Suburban Rail Loop and channel those funds directly into transport solutions for the West. That means prioritising seamless freeway connections, ensuring effortless access in and out of our homes, and developing frequent, stress-free train and bus systems that genuinely serve our communities.
Our priorities for the West:
- Adopt the Better Buses for the West plan: https://msd.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/4224729/Better-Buses-for-Melbournes-West-launch.pdf
- Increase the number of bus and train shelters.
- Support a Bus service for Mt Atkinson.
- Reopen Paisley Station.
- Electrify the Melton train line.
- Electrify all the way to Wyndhamvale.
- Connect Werribee to Geelong via rail.
- Upgrade the Western Freeway.
- Duplication of roads including Hopkins Road, Ballan Road and Point Cook Road.
- Ensure that all major projects must be independently assessed before going out to tender
