Box Hill electorate
Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (14:56): (715) My constituency question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. When will the north-west oval at Surrey Park be returned to the Box Hill community? The north-west oval at Surrey Park was a critical staging point used to deliver the much-needed removal of the dangerous and congested level crossings at Mont Albert Road and Union Road. At the time the government announced that it would be using this oval as part of the level crossing project it committed to returning the playing surfaces to the community in brand new condition alongside new lighting at the adjacent baseball diamond. With Surrey Park no longer required for the project, local residents and sporting clubs are keen to know when the rehabilitation works will get underway and be returned for community use. I look forward to the minister’s response.
