Ivanhoe electorate
Mr CARBINES (Ivanhoe) (11:48): (1363) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads. I would like to ask the Minister for Roads for information and an update on the commencement and conclusion of the Burgundy Street road project. It is a great project—several million dollars. The result of that project will be to improve pedestrian connections to the mighty Austin Hospital, the Mercy Hospital for Women in Heidelberg and of course Warringal Private Hospital across the road. It is right in amongst the Heidelberg railway station of course. It is a significant precinct with the added difficulty of making sure we maintain emergency access for ambulance services to those hospitals. The road project, which will make some upgrades to traffic lights and improve safety for pedestrians, is most welcome. I look forward to that information from the minister.
