Carrum electorate

Ms KILKENNY (Carrum) (14:40): (6177) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Minister, last week I joined you to announce the start of works on the Western Port Highway, where we are removing two roundabouts at Ballarto Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road. Following that terrific announcement for the more than 22 000 motorists who use this highway, I have had a number of constituents contact me. Minister, what are the next steps around the Andrews Labor government’s massive commitment to upgrade Hall Road between McCormicks Road in Skye and Cranbourne-Frankston Road in Cranbourne? This major project will transform the lives of residents in my electorate by adding an extra lane in both directions on Hall Road between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway and upgrading five intersections to improve safety for everyone and reduce congestion. There is overwhelming community support for this project. My constituents and I look forward to the minister’s response.
