Sandringham electorate

 Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (14:40): (1636) My constituency question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Before the last election former Premier Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan, who was then the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, announced that the Highett and Wickham Road level crossings in my community would be removed by 2029, when the Frankston line was supposed to be level crossing free. Since then, frustration has increased in my community due to the lack of fair-dinkum consultation by this government and the fear that yet another Labor infrastructure delay would be in place. Well, our community’s fears have been realised with the release of last week’s Victorian budget, which quietly announced that the completion date had been pushed back three more years to 2032. Highett residents are now rightly asking why Labor has ignored Highett residents yet again. I ask on their behalf: with yet another broken promise, why does the Allan Labor government continue to delay and ignore critical infrastructure projects in the Highett community?
