Williamstown and Millers roads truck curfew
Katie HALL (Footscray) (19:16): (1307) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Ports and Freight, and the action I seek is for the minister to consider implementing overnight and weekend truck curfews on Williamstown and Millers roads in the inner west. With the opening of the West Gate Tunnel and the implementation of the no-truck zone cameras on six key streets in the inner west, we are expecting fewer trucks travelling in residential areas. However, residents remain concerned about the volume of truck movements that will continue along Williamstown and Millers roads. These roads connect both Geelong Road and the West Gate Freeway, provide access to Webb Dock and have been important arterial roads. While these remain important for those movements, a curfew would help address residents’ concerns around safety as well as noise and other pollutants. I look forward to the minister’s response.
