Katame t Railway Station and the deficit debate
A deputation led by George Graham MLA urged Premier Bent to extend the Katamatite line into the township after the railway’s distant terminus and poor access. The shire cited £16,000 already spent and interest costs. Bent suggested cabinet review with potential £1000 from surplus revenue if £3000 cost could be justified.
