Ferntree Gully electorate

Mr WAKELING (Ferntree Gully) (14:49): (6322) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Many residents across the City of Knox have raised concerns with me again about the state of the median strips on many of our major roads. They complain constantly about the fact that they are not maintained. They have lots of overgrown vegetation on them, making it very difficult for residents utilising our roads to turn right at intersections. Similar to the issues we have raised in this place about the Eastern Freeway, I am again forced to raise these issues about the work of VicRoads in my community. On behalf of residents across the City of Knox, I ask: when will VicRoads put in place a proper maintenance schedule for the maintenance of median strips to ensure that roads are properly maintained across the City of Knox.
