Adjournment

Doncaster Road, Doncaster

Mr GUY (Bulleen—Leader of the Opposition) (17:01): (6326) My adjournment tonight is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it concerns the eastbound section of Doncaster Road from the Eastern Freeway up to Doncaster Shoppingtown. The state of the road is atrocious. It is being ripped up and disfigured from a growth in the median strip which occurred in late 2001. It was repaired and despite the warnings to the government it has happened again. My concern is that this is now causing cars to slow down and particularly during the evening peak and is becoming a hazard for drivers and a risk to those who live close to Birralee Primary School and the Eastern Golf Course redevelopment. My adjournment matter tonight is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and I ask the minister to ensure that there is funding in the state budget, soon to be handed down, to fix Doncaster Road and to make this happen for the sake of public safety and my constituents who live in Doncaster.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Narre Warren South, and can I wish the member for Narre Warren South a very happy birthday.
