Constituency questions
Ripon electorate
Ms STALEY (Ripon) (14:36): (6106) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and I ask: when will the speed restrictions on the Western Highway between Buangor and Ararat be removed? This has been a longstanding project that has been stalled for a long time, and recently it was recognised that construction will not take place on the project until a new cultural heritage management plan has been prepared and approved and current legal restraints are resolved. That was a Victorian government spokesman on 20 October this year. So clearly they are not going to build it in this road season and they will not be building it in the next one either, so it is about time that the 80-kilometre speed limits for construction work that is not happening are removed and we get back to 100 kilometres an hour given that they have admitted that there will not be construction work on that road.
