This is an important project for Victoria. We are delighted the responsibility is given to Minister Jacinta Allan. Some of the technological advancements should be implemented in this project to improve operational efficiency.
Proud to be sworn in as the Minister for Suburban Rail Loop. Victoria’s biggest ever project which will change the way we move around forever - creating 10,000s jobs during construction and more jobs and services in Melbourne’s suburbs. #springst

Happy Birthday #IRT! 20 yrs ago today the @IRT_Monash was established when a small team moved from @bhp’s MRL to @monashengineers @MonashUni. Since then the #railway team has grown in numbers, stature and scope to become the premier track & vehicle #research centre in Australia.
