 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:45): (1093) Construction is well and truly underway on the new and safer intersection at the Alcester Village shops in Boronia, so my question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety: what is the latest update on when the construction will be complete and the new intersection open? I want to thank all of the residents and the community for advocating for this years ago, back when I was first elected to Parliament. We have now replaced the roundabout. Construction has removed and moved services, and it is now creating a larger intersection with pedestrian crossings at all legs, adding more capacity, which will make it more efficient. Importantly ‍– I probably mentioned this – it will make it safer, considering the schools around it as well as the shopping centre. I want to thank everyone for their patience. I want to thank all of the traders for their patience and understanding during these works. I am very proud that the Allan Labor government is continuing to make local roads safer.
