Forum 4: The Great Transport Debate
10 August 2006
Melbourne is served by a 19th century grid of trains and trams, and by 20th century freeways. The trains don’t run on time and the freeways are congested. Is there a way forward? Who should own our transport networks? How will we get around Melbourne in the 21st century?
Speakers

Mayor of Maribyrnong
Alan Moran
