Ella GEORGE (Lara) (14:33): (1679) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. What support does our government have available to local councils such as the City of Greater Geelong to assist them in funding repairs and upgrades on local roads to ensure safety for our community? Residents in the Lara electorate raise important concerns about road safety and maintenance, only to be told by the council that they do not have the funding to address them. One example is the local roads around Lara Lake Primary School. Families have a number of concerns about road safety around the school, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times. This includes one street where there is no kerb or bollard between the footpath and car parks. Concerns such as these highlight the urgent need for road safety improvements that directly respond to the priorities of the local community. I look forward to hearing from the minister about what support is available for councils.
