Constituency questions
Bass electorate
Bass electorate
Ms CRUGNALE (Bass) (14:45): (6511) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Can the minister please update me on the work being done to fix the potholes and maintain the roads across my electorate of Bass, particularly after the recent flooding on the South Gippsland Highway between Caldermeade and Lang Lang earlier this month. Regional Roads Victoria maintain more than 19 000 kilometres of the roads across Victoria. It has been great to see the crews out there doing fixing. The recent weather obviously has exacerbated efforts to fix the emerging potholes. I advise everyone who contacts my office, ‘Please don’t just mention it on Facebook, report it directly to VicRoads through their feedback form or calling their number’. There are more than 1100 maintenance and renewal projects that are being delivered on the state’s regional roads since September last year, with an investment of more than $464 million supporting this work to maintain regional road assets. I look forward to an update on how the Andrews government has continued to maintain roads across Bass and Victoria.
