FORMER Melton mayor Margaret Wood has been selected as the shire’s representative for the Regional Rail Link community reference group.
She’s one of eight representatives who will give people information on the project and voice their concerns.
As part of the project, a new rail line will run from West Werribee through Deer Park, Sunshine and Footscray to Southern Cross Station.
Ms Wood said the Geelong, Bendigo and Ballarat lines would have dedicated tracks through the metropolitan network.
“For the people of Melton [the RRL] doesn’t go through the municipality directly, but indirectly it means we will have more trains running efficiently. It will improve the service for Melton users.”
Ms Wood said she wanted to make sure people’s views were adequately expressed.
“I enjoy being involved in the community and this position is another way of doing that.”
To contact Ms Wood, email RRL-CRG@transport.vic.gov.au
