What's Happening

In a major win for our community, the Marshall State Government and the Morrison Government announced $171m in funding for a major upgrade to Hove Railway Crossing at Brighton Road that will bust traffic congestion and significantly improve safety along the Brighton Road corridor.   Hove Crossing has been a long standing problem in our community and I have worked hard with my state and federal colleagues to fix this issue.

If you haven't had an opportunity to use the new Oaklands Railway Station recently, I encourage everyone to pop down, have a look and catch a train (or two!).  The Station looks fantastic, it is bright and airy and is a first class addition to our community.   The landscaping works are also progressing well with a range of native trees, shrubs and ground covers planted along all four access points to the station.  

This morning marks a major win for our community, with funding announced for the grade separation of the Hove Railway Crossing at Brighton Road.  This is a giant step forward to fixing traffic congestion and improving safety along the Brighton Road Corridor. I had the pleasure to meet with the Premier Steven Marshall MP, Minister for Transport, the Hon Stephen Knoll MP, the Hon David Speirs MP and Federal Member for Boothby Nicolle Flint MP this morning to announce that $171 million has been jointly secured by the Marshall and Morrison Governments.  

Nicolle Flint Member for Boothby, David Speirs MP and I have worked hard for years to deliver the solution to fix Oaklands Crossing. Now that it’s near completion we are joining forces again to deliver grade separation at Hove Crossing.
