Transport

The Brumby Government’s $10.5 billion plan to transform our transport network is the biggest single investment in the transport system ever undertaken by a Victorian Government. It includes:

• Train and tram services extended on Friday and Saturday nights up to 1.30am, and extra staff to improve security late at night.
• 750km of bike paths since 1999 and the biggest commitment to bicycle paths in the State’s history - $71.8m over the coming 10 years.
• $5 million committed to the East-West Needs Assessment as part of the Government’s Meeting Our Transport Challenges plan.

Local improvements include:

• A $38.5m commitment for a major upgrade of North Melbourne Station including a new station entrance, new concourse on the city end of the station, and additional passenger safety measures.
• Works completed on South Kensington Station as part of the Station Refurbishment Program.
