McMahons Road–Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully
Mr WAKELING (Ferntree Gully) (10:04): Since 2014 I have consistently raised in this house the need for traffic lights to be installed at the intersection of McMahons Road and Burwood Highway in Ferntree Gully. The Andrews government consistently ignored the needs of Ferntree Gully residents on this important issue. In March of this year the Leader of the Liberal Party and I announced that we would commit to installing traffic lights at this intersection, and I am very pleased to see that the government followed the lead of the Liberal Party and announced funding for this important project in this year’s budget. Residents are now asking when the traffic lights will be installed, so I am calling on the government to explain to residents when work will commence and when the traffic lights will be complete.
