Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (09:39): Secondly, I wish to put on record my concern at the lack of interest of the government in fixing the Reynolds Road–Smiths Road intersection in Templestowe. It must be signalised. The government boasted about supporting a council project to upgrade Pettys Reserve, which is on the corner of that intersection, so we now have a large volume of traffic which comes out of that intersection, particularly on Saturdays. Like many parts of Templestowe, it is hilly, and there is a crest when you are atop the rise when you are driving particularly westbound on Reynolds Road. That intersection needs to be signalised, even if partially, because it is dangerous, and there is no action from the government.
