Mornington electorate

 Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (14:38): (1700) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. When will the minister update my constituents as to when the Uralla Road and Nepean Highway intersection upgrade will finally commence? Residents in Mornington and Mount Martha, such as Vince, continue to raise serious concerns about the long-delayed upgrade of this intersection. This intersection is well known locally as dangerous and congested, particularly during events at The Briars. The project was fully funded by the former Liberal government at the federal level. As it is a state government-owned road, though, it needs to be built by them, yet despite repeated representations to the state government by both the federal MP Zoe McKenzie and me there is still no clear public timeline for when the intersection upgrade will finally begin. All we have had is continued silence from this Labor government. The local community has waited long enough. Labor must act now before there is another serious accident and deliver this long-awaited road safety upgrade.
