Why isn't there a facility to vote NO to the Huntingdale to Rowville rail link?
It's bad enough that we are surrounded by decrepit factories around the Huntingdale/Oakleigh South/Clayton area. Now we'll have to hear trains running up and down North Rd. as well. No thanks.
How about rezoning the industrial area to accomodate student housing and aleviate the housing shortage? We do need an upgrade of our train network but why don't we bring the people closer to work/uni?
The train line should connect with a station somewhere between Caulfield and Hughesdale, so that the train can run past Chadstone shopping centre as well. It's a nightmare trying to get there by bus.
