Nepean School
Ms KILKENNY (Carrum) (19:13): (1893) My adjournment matter tonight is for the Minister for Roads, and the action I seek is for the minister to join me at Nepean School in Seaford for a follow-up visit to see the traffic works that have commenced at the intersection of Hartnett Drive and Klauer Street, Seaford. Last year two Nepean School students wrote to me outlining their concerns for the safety of some of their schoolfriends on local roads. Their friends, in wheelchairs, were having issues crossing at the intersection because the traffic light sequencing did not give them enough time to cross safely in their wheelchairs. On their behalf I wrote to the minister’s office, and I am happy to say that the minister joined me and the member for Frankston at Nepean School late last year to announce the start of an intersection upgrade. I am very proud of these wonderful young students and how they so passionately saw an issue that needed fixing and advocated for their fellow students. I know that these students and the Nepean School community would love to welcome back the minister to celebrate the completion of this important road safety upgrade in Seaford, and we look forward to welcoming her.
