Metropolitan Transport Forum presents this community forum on transport issues in the State Electorate of Melton and surrounding areas, hosted by Melton City Council.

Discussion topics could include:
Electrification of the Melton Line
Roads
Additional Train Stations – Mt Atkinson, Thornhill Park and Calder Park
Active Transport
Bus network & Public Transport in general.

There will be a Q&A session with questions from the live audience.

ABC journalist Margaret Paul will chair the forum, which will provide a respectful and orderly setting for discussion with confirmed speakers from Labor, the Greens and Legalise Cannabis. Liberal Party participation is expected, with the speaker yet to be confirmed.

Confirmed speakers are: Broden Borg, Labor; Veronika Levchenkova, Greens; and David Ettershank MLC, Legalise Cannabis.

Each speaker will outline their plans for better transport in Melton and beyond. The event will be strictly chaired to give speakers equal time. Audience members will also be able to ask short questions and hear responses from the speakers.

The event will also be livestreamed and recorded, with access available later via the MTF website.
