Strongly support the Amendment requiring Operating Rail Service before more housing

I support the amendment requiring DART+ South West (or an equivalent rail service) to be up and running before significant residential development begins.

Residents of Lucan and Adamstown have experienced many years of rapid residential growth without necessary transport infrastructure. The stipulation for the rail service to be operational gives confidence to the existing community that sustainable transport will be available when future residents move into the area. It is consistent with the principles of proper planning, sustainable transport and climate action.
