Ms ADDISON (Wendouree): I direct my adjournment matter to the Minister for Public Transport, and the action I seek is for him to provide me with an update on the release of the report into the incident that resulted in significant damage to the heritage railway gates by a Wendouree-bound VLocity train at the Ballarat railway station on 30 May 2020.

This incident subsequently caused the temporary and indefinite closure of Lydiard Street North, Ballarat, a key thoroughfare for our northern suburbs to access our CBD.

The future of the heritage gates is an issue of great interest to many Ballarat residents, as is the reopening of Lydiard Street North at the railway crossing.

I look forward to being updated by the Minister for Public Transport on this most important matter for the Ballarat community.
