Locals in Melbourne\u2019s booming southeast have sent politicians a blueprint for the region, outlining their ideas for job, housing and liveability opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea of an Airport in the south east of Australia’s largest city is not a new one. One benefit would be the lack of unnecessary travel from the burgeoning south east to Melbourne Airport if one needed to travel to another destination but I cannot see many international airlines using the airport. Domestic airlines could work with lower cost carriers given access to the proposed airport for domestic routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could it be the lack of a rail line to Melbourne Airport has prompted this initiative as the costs to travel to and from the south east to Tullamarine would not be cheap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have we already over developed the south east? We have a disused rail line running past 80,000 homes where calls for trains have been ignored. I the airport did proceed then a rail line already reaches Koo Wee Rup and could be used in reverse to bring travellers to the proposed airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have not got Melbourne and Avalon rail services right and we are thinking about a 3rd airport?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
