Doncaster Rail Study
In mid-2011, Yarra Council welcomed the State Government's announcement of a $6.5 million study into establishing a rail link between Doncaster and the city.
Council has campaigned for years for the creation of a rail line to Doncaster as the only real, long-term way to ease traffic congestion in Hoddle Street and other Yarra streets.
Council believes the 600,000-plus people who live in the Doncaster region need a real choice about how they travel rather than leaving them dependent on cars which pollute and congest the Yarra community.
URS Australia is undertaking the study, which involves coordinating and reviewing technical studies as well as conducting community consultation.
Community workshops
Three community workshops will be held to provide the community with information about the progress of the study, including the route options being considered.
One of the workshops will be held in Yarra at Richmond Town Hall (333 Bridge Road) on Monday 26 March from 6.30pm – 9pm.
For more information about the workshop, and the study in general, visit the Doncaster Rail Study website.
