2012 Rowville Rail Study

The 2012 Rowville Rail Study studied the possibility of a rail link to Rowville, Victoria.

The first stage of the report was released in March 2012, and found that congestion on the Glen Waverley line, Ferntree Gully line and Dandenong line (from Caulfield to Pakenham) would reduce if the rail link were constructed.

The study cost A$2 million.
