Nepean electorate
Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:59): (718) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and anybody who has driven down to the southern Mornington Peninsula will realise just how bad the roads are in my electorate of Nepean. There are potholes everywhere, and as reported widely across the media today, in the latest RACV road survey more than 10 per cent of the worst roads in Victoria are actually in my electorate, including Frankston-Flinders Road and Boneo Road. Anybody who has driven down Eastbourne Road has seen all the potholes. Anybody who has driven down Point Nepean Road has had to swerve past those potholes. We know this government has cut the road resurfacing budget from $200 million down to roughly $37 million this year, so my question to the minister is simple: when will the government fix the potholes and repair the crumbling road network in Nepean?
