South Barwon electorate
Mr CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (14:47): (873) My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Roads and Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, Jaala Pulford in the other place. I recently had the pleasure of touring and inspecting the construction works being done on the intersection of Surf Coast Highway, Messmate Road and South Beach Road to deliver a new roundabout. Labor is investing $2.5 million in a new roundabout to improve safety and traffic flow through this intersection. Every morning I drive past the works, and while they certainly cause some inconvenience, I know it will be worth it once the new roundabout is constructed—even if it saves just one single life. My question to the minister is: how unsafe is this intersection, and when can my constituents expect this fantastic new project to be completed?
