 Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (17:21): (1570) My question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and the action that I seek is an update on the build of the new shared user path for the Queen Street bridge over Laverton Creek. When we asked the community as a government if they wanted the pedestrian and cycle bridge over Laverton Creek, they answered with a very enthusiastic yes. I supported it, and the government funded it. The new connection will provide a safe way for the community to get around, with pedestrians and cyclists separated from road users. That is important for our community. It also connects members of our community to the sporting facilities, to the clubs, to the religious centres and to the schools. It makes our community just that bit better. I am looking forward to the minister’s response, and I thank her for her work.
