Melbourne–Kilmore roads, Gisborne
Ms THOMAS (Macedon—Minister for Health, Minister for Ambulance Services) (09:39): I am delighted the works on the Melbourne–Kilmore roads intersection in Gisborne are now complete. With the new roundabout surrounding a preserved oak tree, upgraded lighting and new shared-use paths for pedestrians, this project will improve safety for all road users. It will also enhance traffic flow at this notorious intersection and throughout Gisborne’s town centre. I want to thank all of the workers from Regional Roads Victoria, Negri Contractors and Dome Traffic who contributed to this wonderful project. I would also like to thank my constituents in Gisborne for their patience while works were completed. Closure of the intersection helped the project finish months ahead of schedule, a fantastic outcome. I made a $12.5 million election commitment in 2018 that we would deliver this new, improved intersection for the people of Gisborne, and that commitment has now been delivered in full.
