| Knox residents have waited far too long for a rail line to Rowville. At 12 kilometres of rail line, the Rowville Rail is an investment that will have major benefits for our community, alleviating traffic congestion and giving residents in the region a real transport alternative.
The Rowville Rail is a feasible and achievable necessity. As a major regional infrastructure project that will reduce traffic congestion and better connect Melbourne’s east, the Rowville Rail remains an essential, though missing link.
A few simple facts about the Rowville Rail:
• The Rowville Rail was first planned in 1969 and is still undelivered
• The Rowville Rail could carry approximately 2,350 passengers an hour, effectively removing an entire lane of traffic from the Monash Freeway
• With connecting bus services, the Rowville Rail could service around 100,000 residents
• A person living in Rowville could be in the city in as little as 30 minutes.
Now’s our chance to put our hands up and say, ‘I’m on Board for the Rowville Rail’.
