 Ms WARD (Eltham) (19:08): (390) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Roads in the other place. The action I seek is that the minister meet with me and give me an update on the planning works undertaken by VicRoads on two intersections in my electorate: the roundabout at Civic Drive and Diamond Creek Road in Greensborough and the Wallowa Road–Ryans Road intersection in St Helena. These two intersections can be problematic for both motorists and pedestrians. I have visited many residents in the neighbourhoods around the two intersections and sought the views of my community on how they could be improved. I thank them for their assistance, and I have passed this information on to VicRoads.

In the 2018–19 Victorian budget the Andrews Labor government funded planning work into how these two intersections could be improved to increase safety and reduce congestion. I therefore ask the minister to meet with me to give me an update on the progress of this planning work.
