Constituency questions

Rowville electorate


Rowville electorate

Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:48): (448) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. When will the government make Napoleon Road in Rowville safe for the constituents in my electorate? Currently, Napoleon Road, like so many others in Knox, is unacceptably dangerous, regularly featuring potholes, loose gravel and uneven surfaces all along the road, yet Labor has failed to even spend what was allocated to fix this road. I think we can all agree that $445,000 to fund repairs for Napoleon Road is pathetic. What is worse, only spending $198,000 of that over nine years and the 32 casualties that have occurred since then are evidence of that fact. It is absolutely negligent that this government continues to underspend on key local roads that continue to be hazards for all road users, having only spent under half of the allocated amount for Napoleon Road since 2014.
