Project description:

The ERG is working with the ETC and Infrastructure Directors to develop strategies and advocate to:

  • Improve access, connectivity and levels of service for increased public transport patronage
  • Leverage better place and connectivity outcomes from major projects, in particular the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL)
  • Identify and fund major regional road improvements
  • Increase regional funding for local road safety and to support sustainable transport / 20-minute neighbourhoods
  • Support the bus service network review to increase bus routes/service to link LaTrobe and Deakin universities, a North/South connection and to connect to the SRL.

Improvements in the region form a key part of the ERG’s Federal and State advocacy priorities – click here for details
