Ovens Valley electorate road safety
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:38): I want to offer my sincere condolences to all of the families of those who died at the recent accident at the Labuan Road and Murray Valley Highway intersection. This infamous road has claimed far too many lives over many years. Significant investment was made back in 2012 to offset one of the dangerous intersections with the Katamatite road, and now another intersection of this notorious road has claimed more lives – five dead in the most recent crash and one dead in last year’s crash. Still there is dash cam footage as recent as last week that shows more cars coming to grief. Offsetting Stokes Road and other safety measures must be implemented immediately before another life is lost. Police have been calling for some time to have this intersection fixed. The community is screaming for a solution.
