I just realized that the new Tarneit n Wyndham Vale regional line track will run parallel to Middle Ring Road (I think it's called Armstrong Road as well)! Our land is very near to Armstrong Road, so we are very worried about noise level. When we were buying the land, we asked the sales lady about any roads connecting to Manor Lakes, the lady told us of a possible road in the future connecting the 2 estates. We asked her about the regional line, as it was election time at that time, she's not sure if the regional line will go ahead or not. But I wonder if she kind of "forgot" to mention that if the regional link does go ahead, most likely Bluestone will run parallel to the track line! I wonder how many people buying the lands n houses there know about this?
After searching for more info on the net, I found out that the earlier plan consists of 6 proposed stations, instead of just Tarneit n Manor Lakes. One of the proposed station is located on the junction of Black Forest Rd n Middle Ring Rd(Armstrong Rd?). I wonder if it's a good thing to have a station so near our doorstep?
Anyway, I called up Regional Rail Link to find out more, the lady said that the remaining 4 proposed stations are not included in this current regional line project, though land have been bought for the remaining not yet built 4 stations. But she doesn't know when they will be built or if they will be built. I also asked her since land have been bought for these remaining 4 stations, will they be built exactly at these proposed locations in the initial plan if they do get built, she said she did not want to promise anything as things may change in the future. She told me there are sessions which one can attend to find out more. They will be held on 10th Sep Sat 10-2, and 14th Sep Wed 6-8.30. Both will be held at Tarneit Community Centre. I think there are other sessions at other locations, will try to find out more..
Sorry for long post...
Anyone in Bluestone Green Estate know about all these? Any thoughts?
