Natalie HUTCHINS (Sydenham) (13:42): Taylors Road is a road that carries over 22,000 vehicles per day and is the feeder to a whole lot of new estates in my electorate. The congestion is so frustrating to commuters and to local residents, and I want to assure our residents that I am working hand in hand with Melton City Council in doing what we can to get this road upgraded. I acknowledge Melton City Council is calling for a full declaration of this road, and that is why we have made a commitment in this year’s budget to fund the next stages of planning for this road to become a better place. I want to acknowledge Melton council’s significant investment to date in this road, the $15 million that they have put into the Plumpton and Taylors roads intersection upgrade and the launch of the Taylors Road corridor upgrade plan, which includes the signalisation of Taylors Road and Sinclairs Road and the duplication of Taylors Road between Westwood Drive and City Vista Court. I will continue to work with the mayor of Melton City Council and those councillors that have worked so hard on this to seek further co-investment opportunities to deliver this work sooner. I know how important it is to my local electorate, because when we work together, we get better outcomes. Perhaps the councillor for Jackwood ward could learn a thing or two about working hand in hand instead of attacking.
