Why it matters
The commitment structurally influences the City of Greater Geelong's operations regarding public transport policy. Mayor Kontelj noted that while increased bus scheduling is helpful, long-term transport needs require passenger rail to Bannockburn and the progression of the Armstrong Creek Spur.
