McMahons Creek pedestrian bridge
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (09:42): The pedestrian bridge at McMahons Creek in the Upper Yarra was deemed dangerous and pulled down in July 2017, splitting the community in half and forcing the residents, including schoolchildren, to walk on the busy road. The government has since provided funding to council to rebuild the bridge, and the designs are complete. The community are eagerly awaiting Melbourne Water’s approval so works can start. Minister, stop mucking around, and ensure approval is provided asap so the community can finally have their bridge back.
