🚆 Extending the Cranbourne Train Line. Community Support Needed 🚆
The campaign to extend the Cranbourne train line to Koo Wee Rup is back and in an election year community voices matter more than ever.
For decades residents across Cranbourne, Clyde, Clyde North and the wider south east have been calling for rail infrastructure that keeps pace with growth. Our region continues to grow rapidly yet public transport access remains limited, congestion is worsening and too many families are forced into long car commutes simply because there is no alternative.
A Victorian Parliamentary petition is now live calling on the State Government to restore and extend the Cranbourne train line to Koo Wee Rup.
📌 Here is how the parliamentary thresholds work
• 2,000 signatures are required for a paper petition to be debated in Parliament
• 10,000 combined signatures (paper and e petition) are required for a petition that includes an e petition to be debated
🟢 We have already passed 1,000 signatures on the e petition, which shows strong community support but we still need many more people to add their name to reach the 10,000 signature threshold required on an e petition for parliamentary debate.
📰 The issue was recently highlighted in Star News

📢 Why your signature matters
• Meeting the threshold forces a formal parliamentary debate
• It puts the issue on the official record for all MPs
• It strengthens the case for funding, planning and delivery commitments
CRRA has written directly to the Minister for Public Transport and the Shadow Minister outlining the strong community mandate for rail investment in Casey and the Clyde corridor, the population growth pressures already being felt and the need for clear pre election commitments to planning and delivery.
This is not about politics. It is about fairness, access and planning for the future of one of Victoria’s fastest growing regions.
If you support better transport, reduced congestion and infrastructure that matches growth please sign the petition and share it with your friends, family and neighbours.
