Constituency questions

Polwarth electorate


Richard RIORDAN

Polwarth electorate

Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (12:47): (624) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. The question I have is: in this year’s state budget, will extra funds be allocated for Polwarth roads – namely, the Blue Church intersection, the Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road–Cape Otway Road intersection and the notorious strip of Princes Highway west through the Stony Rises. These three projects have been on constant delay since around 2019. The Princes Highway section in particular is now down to a 60-kilometre zone on the number one highway here in the state of Victoria. These are urgent repairs. The community have tired of waiting for them, and they are eagerly anticipating your budget announcements this year to actually get these projects underway and finished so that the people of Polwarth can travel safely across major roads and through major intersections in the Polwarth electorate.
