 Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (14:46): (1451) My question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and my question is: how is the Queen Street shared user path bridge that is being built over the Laverton Creek in Altona Meadows progressing? Last year the community told us that they wanted a bridge to be built, and I supported them and this government supported them by putting it in the budget. The new bridge will improve safety by separating pedestrians and bicycle users from vehicles on the existing road and bridge, and they will not need to ride down the road to connect to a bridge closer to the bay. This will connect our community in a meaningful way, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
