Rail projects
Planning and investment in rail is needed to address severe issues with overcrowding, reliability and connectivity in one of Australia's fastest growing urban areas.
Upfield line: duplication and extension
Rail investments are needed to resolve critical constraints on train services in Melbourne's north.
We need effective train networks to connect our people to jobs and services, and to alleviate congestion on our key roads.
The current Upfield line ends at Upfield Station. But further north are Melbourne's booming suburbs.
Duplication and extension of the Upfield rail line, including electrification to Wallan, will improve train frequency, removing ongoing constraints and improving capacity, frequency and reliability for passengers.
Acknowledgement of Country
The Northern Councils Alliance acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Taungurung people, who are the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Melbourne’s north. We recognise the rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage within our region and their deep and continuing connection to land culture and waters. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Elders past, present and emerging who have and continue to reside in our region and are an important part of our region’s history and future.
