With campaigning now underway for the 2022 Federal election, Metro Trains Melbourne is reminding campaigners that political parties are prohibited from displaying any political advertising or allowing any political candidate, party or group to hand out political material or affix posters to station premises.
Political material includes flyers, stickers, handbills, brochures, t-shirts, balloons – anything containing a political message.
Metro’s property boundary will generally include all station platforms, buildings, carparks including internal roadways/footpaths/bridges/stairs/lifts and access ways with station carparks.
Political posters are not allowed to be installed on any building, structure or facility located in any section of Metro’s property, including the fence line. All political posters will be immediately removed from the fence line or property and disposed of appropriately.
Campaigners or candidates handing out flyers within Metro’s station property boundary will be politely asked to move to the footpath outside the boundary.
