To ask the Minister for Planning (for the Minister for Public Transport): In relation to the Snake Valley Transport Connections Service, will the minister guarantee that this service will not be cut or reduced as a result of the Baillieu government’s review of Transport Connections routes.
ANSWER:
I am informed that, as at the date the question was raised:
The Snake Valley to Ballarat trial service commenced in July 2010 and the trial period has been extended to allow for further review of the service.
The review will assess the patronage of the service over the trial period and a recommendation will be made in regards to the long-term viability of the service.
