Hurstbridge Line Shared Use Trail

2016-08-31

Ms DUNN (Eastern Metropolitan) — My constituency question is to the Minister for Public Transport, Jacinta Allan, in relation to the northern regional trails strategy, which proposes a shared use trail along sections of the Hurstbridge line between Rosanna and Heidelberg and again between Greensborough and Eltham, linking them to already existing trails along the corridor. The major construction works currently proposed along the Hurstbridge line, including the track duplication between Heidelberg and Rosanna and investigation of duplication between Greensborough and Eltham, provide the perfect opportunity for the inclusion of the shared trail. My question is: will the minister ensure provisions to include shared trails in both sections of the track duplication on the Hurstbridge line?
