Evelyn electorate
Ms VALLENCE (Evelyn) (11:40): (1831) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Minister for Road Safety and the TAC on behalf of residents in my community who want to know: when will the government commit funding to fix the dangerous stretch of road of Warburton Highway between Peters and Douthie roads, Seville East? In your last response to me last year you stated VicRoads were investigating ways to improve this section of the highway and would complete their review by July 2019. Half a year has passed since then and nothing has changed. There has been a complete lack of urgency. No action has been taken by the Andrews Labor government and its agencies to make this road safe. Minister, what recommendations were made by VicRoads from their investigation and when will action be taken to fix this road, and can you confirm it has been put in a pipeline project list, as local residents have been told by VicRoads? Motorists are still unable to turn safely into and from their homes, and with the start of the school year there is still no safe way for school students to cross safely from the bus stops. Local residents can no longer wait. Action needs to be taken now. Fix this known dangerous road before another tragedy.
