Constituency questions
Warrandyte electorate
Mr R SMITH (Warrandyte) (14:37): (6366) My constituency question today is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I have been contacted by local resident Gail Carlton, who has raised the condition and safety aspects of Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road, which turns into Yarra Street in Warrandyte. As the major arterial for entering and exiting the township of Warrandyte from the west, this road is in desperate need of upgrading. The limited street lighting along the road is also a concern, particularly with Warrandyte High School and local sporting grounds being in such close proximity, and the cyclists on the road also face safety issues due to the lack of lighting. I would ask that the Department of Transport complete an audit of the road quality and safety aspects, followed by the necessary works to ensure all users of the road are safe.
