Altona Meadows road infrastructure
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (19:14): (1186) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action that I seek is for the minister to provide an update on the next steps for the Newland Street exit upgrade. It is important for the residents of Altona Meadows, which is within the community that I represent. Having pride in your community and having places that are clean and tidy and welcoming is important. Over 600 residents signed the petition to see the area cleaned up and upgraded. I delivered this petition to the minister, and I thank the minister, who took these concerns so seriously on behalf of the community and who knows the community so well because we share a boundary at Laverton Creek. This budget delivered the funds to clean up and fix up the Newland Street exit. I know this will take a little while to go through the appropriate processes of government, but I know also how keen the community is to hear about the next steps.
