Activities update

If you live in our area you might have seen some of us out doorknocking the past couple of weekends. We're handing out information leaflets and asking people for their stories about Railway Place. We'll be out and about for the next few weekends too, no doubt, so keep an eye out for us! If you'd like to help or if you'd like some of our brochures, please email us.

There was also an interesting article published in today's Age, about the proposed Westlink road tunnel that may run under West Footscray. Residents in this area are also having difficulty getting answers from the State Government. The Government has also confirmed that Westlink is their 'number 1 priority' for federal funding. Does this means roads are getting more resources than rail and public transport, again?

You might also like to go to the Transport Hub at 61 Irving Street to ask for information about The Regional Rail Link, Westlink and the Metro Tunnel, and how it might affect our community. Staff working on the RRL will be present at the Hub on Wednesday 5 May, Saturday 8 May and Thursday 13 May (11am-2pm). You can sign up for updates from the Department of Transport and fill out a feedback form...every bit of community pressure helps...
