...the house that the below signed request the Minister for Public Transport direct Melbourne metropolitan train authority (Metro) to reduce the noise pollution created by announcements at stations on the sky rail between Caulfield and Dandenong and in particular the removal of the bell tones at the start of the announcements. The amenity of residents has been further diminished ...by the intrusive nature of the announcements as the sound travels far further with the introduction of the elevated rail. We respectfully request that the minister acts without delay to direct Metro to delete the notification bells from the start of announcements and reduce the volume of the announcements. By Ms STALEY (Ripon) (30 signatures)...

... One relates to sky rail and an order for documents in the early part of 2016, and only some of those documents were tabled. I seek from the government an explanation for the delay and why only some of the documents were tabled.

... Soon there will be parks under the sky rail; I understand there is a dog park being opened in a few days. What a fantastic program it has been. I congratulate all the workers that have been engaged in the program and all the workers that will be engaged in it into the future. I think there was a lot of scepticism that we could remove 20 level crossings in four years. Well, ...

... They have failed the Country Fire Authority volunteers; they have failed the people of Victoria; they have failed the people abutting the sky rail; they failed people when they said it would not cost a cent for the east-west link, and it has cost $1.4 billion. The PRESIDENT - Mr Ondarchie, move on back to the motion. Again, it is a very narrow procedural motion, and I think that we ...

... The residents of West Footscray, Seddon and Brooklyn understood this well before toxic ash darkened their sky. They could hear it every day in the trucks that thundered down their residential streets. They understood this well before Stony Creek bled blue from toxic pollutants. Local residents throughout the west have been fighting for their waterways to ... This is why we have developed a transport master plan that builds a port rail shuttle, gets the worst truck polluters off our roads, expands and increases trains and bus services, replaces V/Line services with Metro services in the outer west, plans for the second Metro Tunnel and funds feasibility studies for more light ... rail passenger routes through the west. This will transform the capacity for those of us commuting between the outer west and Melbourne and change the way we live. Finally, we live in unprecedented times in which certain politicians do not even flinch when considering whether they will use racism to extract a political advantage. As a ...

... There is of course sky rail, and Daniel Andrews did not tell people before the election that an elevated rail line would cut through their suburbs, right up against residences, overshadowing them and meaning more noise for people close to the line. This is not exactly something that was explained in any detail at all ...
