Waurn Ponds, Victoria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waurn Ponds is a suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
[edit] Rail controversy
The Regional Fast Rail project announced an upgrade of the line between Melbourne and Geelong, to Grovedale, which has long required rail transportation to service it's growing population.
It was eventually decided to construct the new terminus on the site of the demolished Marshall station. This decision was controversial, as a significant portion of the local community had demanded that the station be built in Grovedale itself whilst others are pushing for the extension to continue to Waurn Ponds to service student travellers attending nearby Deakin University.
