Working Together For Doncaster

Have your say about the Doncaster Rail

I am delighted that the $6.5 million Doncaster Rail Study is underway to provide an extensive assessment of the options to construct a rail line in Doncaster.

Good public transport is vital in supporting the needs of our community.

I invite residents to register their interest to help identify key challenges involved in this project by phoning submissions to my office on 9841 5166 or emailing me at mary.wooldridge@parliament.vic.gov.au

I also encourage you to visit the Doncaster Rail information booth at Doncaster Shoppingtown for more information.

Information forums on new Secondary Supply legislation

Recently I was intrumental in the introduction of new law to limit the supply of alcohol to minors.

to inform the community and hold information forums.
