West Gate Tunnel
Ms CONNOLLY (Tarneit) (19:03): (6377) My adjournment is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and the action I seek this week is that the minister update me on our government’s progress in delivering the West Gate Tunnel Project. It is true this project has had its challenges, challenges that have caused my community a great deal of worry, but I am very pleased to be standing here this evening saying that we are getting on with delivering this project, and that is exactly what communities like mine in Melbourne’s outer western suburbs need. We are talking about taking 20 minutes off our morning and afternoon commute times. We are talking about taking industrial trucks off the West Gate Bridge and making it easier for us westies to get home from work. It is so important to deliver this project for Melbourne’s west to get us back up and moving around the city, and I know that my constituents would greatly appreciate an update from the minister on where we are at in delivering this vital piece of infrastructure.
