Caulfield electorate cycling infrastructure
Mr SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (09:38): Last Sunday I had the privilege of joining GEBUG, Glen Eira Bicycle Users Group, for their World Environment Day ride around our area. One of the big issues is safety and access for cyclists and pedestrians, particularly around Caulfield Racecourse at Queens Avenue. I understand a number of trees may also be impacted as part of the proposed changes. We need to get the balance right, and I call on the government to meet with Glen Eira council, local residents and bike users in progressing this project. Bikes are a crucial part of our transport, recreation and exercise future, and I look forward to working with GEBUG to make Caulfield and surrounds an even better place to cycle.
