Constituency questions

Footscray electorate


Footscray electorate

Ms HALL (Footscray) (14:48): (6243) My question is to the Minister for Ports and Freight. My electorate of Footscray is located between Australia’s busiest container port, the port of Melbourne, and many warehouse and distribution centres in Melbourne’s west. Much of the container movement happens through my electorate, and I am aware of both full and empty container congestion at the port, container parks and warehouses. I ask that the Minister for Ports and Freight provide an update on what the government is doing to mitigate the impact of shipping container build-up in our ports and storage yards.
