Melton council will advocate on behalf of sections of their community not connected by public transport.

Cr Bob Turner moved a motion at last week’s council meeting, asking for could to write to several government bodies, asking for bus routes and services to be introduced in key areas of the municipality.

“[I move] that council write to the Hon Ben Carroll MP, Minister for Public Transport, requesting that the Department of Transport, via Public Transport Victoria, urgently introduce bus routes and commence bus services from the Exford Waters Estate, Weir Views and the Eynesbury Township to the Melton Railway Station and Woodgrove Shopping Centres to meet the transportation needs of the growing communities in these areas respectively,” Cr Turner said.

It comes as an Eynesbury resident called for her township to be connected to the rest of the world: bit.ly/3CtjuUJhttps://bit.ly/3CtjuUJ
