Petitions

Eildon electorate roads

Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) presented a petition bearing 1817 signatures:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the rapidly deteriorating condition of the highways between Yarra Glen and Mansfield. The Melba Highway, the Goulburn Valley Highway between Yea and Yarck and the Maroondah Highway from Yarck to Mansfield have a significant number of potholes, crumbling shoulders, and broken bitumen, which is jeopardising driver’s safety. Drivers are forking out costs for blown tyres, busted rims, and wheel realignment after hitting potholes.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly through the Minister for Roads & Roads Safety ensure extensive road works and resurfacing works are conducted as a matter of priority to repair the condition of the Melba Highway, Goulburn Valley Highway and Maroondah Highway to improve driver’s safety.

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the state of our roads in Victoria is shocking it is putting peoples lives at risk and causing damage to the vehicles of everyday battlers costing tyres and damage that they are unable to claim compensation from VicRoads.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly call on the government to fix the roads and to enable all damages to vehicles and tyres to be claimable from VicRoads no matter how much it costs.

Ordered that petitions be considered next sitting day.
