  • Dear Resident, Mt Lawley and Meltham Train Stations I Hope This
    Dear Resident, Mt Lawley and Meltham Train Stations I hope this letter finds you well. It has been reported by some that Mt Lawley and Meltham Train Stations might close in the future. This was due to the Public Transport Authority undertaking a study of current and projected patronage along the Midland line. I can confirm that there are no plans to close Mt Lawley or Meltham stations. The Liberal National Government has recently invested in upgrades to both Mt Lawley and Meltham stations at a cost of approximately $2 million each. These upgrades would not have been done if there were plans to close the stations. Enclosed herewith is a copy of a letter dated 29th of September 2016 which I received from the Minister for Transport Bill Marmion, the contents of which are self- explanatory. As your local Member of Parliament I am committed to ensuring that all residents have a strong voice and that your views are listened to. If you have issues or concerns and would like to discuss this matter further I invite you to contact my office on 9473 0800. Yours sincerely, Michael Sutherland MLA Member for Mount Lawley October 2016 Left to Right: Member for East Metropolitan, Donna Faragher; City of Bayswater Deputy Mayor, Stephanie Coates; City of Bayswater Councillor, Terry Kenyon; Michael Sutherland ; Minister for Transport, Bill Marmion and Liberal candidate for Maylands, Amanda Madden. The Liberal State Government has invested money in essential transport improvements for inner city suburbs. These key improvements include: - Third Avenue and Seventh Avenue Bridges The Third and Seventh Avenue bridges have been given a much needed upgrade at a combined cost of approximately $18 million.
