Warrandyte electorate

Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (15:01): (466) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I ask the minister: when will the government make Jumping Creek Road in the electorate of Warrandyte safe for the constituents? John Burnett recently wrote to me about the fast-deteriorating condition of Jumping Creek Road. He said:

Today, I counted over a dozen decent sized pot-holes over its length of about three kilometres, principally occurring around the eastern, or Wonga Park end of the road. The holes are so large that traffic is swerving to attempt to avoid the potential damage to vehicles, with the consequence that drivers’ attention is being distracted and cars are veering to the opposite side of the road.

He informs me that the council has been filling in these potholes almost every six months and that the whole road needs to be resurfaced as soon as possible to put an end to this dangerous situation.
