 Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:17): Residents of Yarra Glen, Dixons Creek and beyond threw their hands in the air when the speed limit on the Melba Highway from Coombe Cottage in Coldstream to Yarra Glen was reduced to 70 kilometres an hour. It was not long ago that it was 100 kilometres an hour. Apparently this reduction is part of a safety upgrade between the Maroondah Highway and the Healesville-Yarra Glen Road. There are a couple of well-known notorious bends at Yering. Residents want to know what the upgrades are and when they will take place. In short, they want the roads to be fixed.
