Box Hill交通建设升级刻不容缓

白马市议会最近发佈了一份研究报告，内容详述现今 Box Hill 急需交通运输建设升级的重要性。 Box Hill 发展迅速，有着许多高楼层和高密度的建筑开发。 即使事实摆在眼前， 但很遗憾的是，现今的 Andrews 州政府已表明立场， 无意因应高速人口增长而对 Box Hill交通建设做出改善。

在上届联盟政府期间，一切有关商场重建与升级的工作和协商都已随着工党上台而成为昨日黄花。 屋漏偏逢连夜雨， 现今政府光是在成立 “交通运输谘询小组” 上就已经推迟拖延将近一年，而实际的改革和建设恐怕不知要那个猴年马月方能实现。

州政府必需要尽速採取行动，和商场的业主、运输管理公司及相关人员进行沟通协调， 拿出确切方案并按部就班的实践才能造福众多商家与广大民众。

Government must act on Box Hill transport interchange

 

Whitehorse Council has recently released a study on the need to upgrade the Box Hill transport interchange.

 

Box Hill is growing rapidly, with many high rise, high density developments, but unfortunately the Andrews government has shown no real interest in providing Box Hill with the transport improvements needed to cope with these growing numbers of residents.

 

The work and consultations about redeveloping the interchange and shopping centre started under the Coalition government were abandoned when Labor came to office.

 

To make matters worse, the government then delayed for almost a year before setting up an “advisory group” on the interchange.

 

The State government must act to develop a solution. It needs to negotiate with the centre landlord, transport operators and other stakeholders, come up with a model and implement it.
