Kororoit electorate
Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (14:45): (611) My question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport. What are the plans to implement a public bus network in the Mount Atkinson and Grandview estates? The Mount Atkinson and Grandview estates sit within the fastest growing LGA in this country, as my good friend the member for Melton knows. With over 7000 residents, and growing, the nearest bus stop is at Neale Road and is about a 50-minute walk away. I regularly witness residents from these estates attempting to navigate the rural-grade Hopkins Road. Not only do they have to contend with the 27,000 vehicles that use this route daily but they have to do so without proper footpaths, which makes walking along the road a major threat. These residents need better access to public transport services, and a public bus network needs to be implemented urgently.
