 Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Police. When will Victoria Police increase patrols and active enforcement on Jumping Creek Road to deter dangerous driving and ensure the safety of local families who are living with the constant risk of another crash? Residents on Jumping Creek Road in Wonga Park are increasingly fearful for their safety following yet another serious head-on collision last week. In this most recent incident a driver was taken to hospital with internal injuries and broken ribs. There was also a baby in the car who was, thankfully, unharmed. Residents have reported that there has been no visible increase in police presence despite repeated requests for enforcement on this dangerous stretch of road. They continue to experience daily high-risk behaviour, including drivers overtaking at high speed and ignoring the 60-kilometre-per-hour limit. Local families deserve proactive enforcement that prevents the next tragedy rather than responding to it.
