McClelland Avenue, Lara, level crossing
Mr EREN (Lara) (19:11): (1955) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Public Transport. The action I seek from the minister is to ensure repairs are carried out on the McClelland Avenue level crossing in Lara. I have been contacted by local residents with their concerns over the safety of this crossing. Their concerns relate to motorists being impacted by poor rideability through the level crossing at McClelland Avenue, in particular when travelling in an easterly direction. Residents have complained about their cars shuddering over the crossing and that they are hitting exposed railway tracks, potholes and lumpy bitumen either side of the crossing and causing damage to their vehicles. I have also received feedback from locals who utilise the pedestrian crossing who share similar concerns when using their mobility scooters. I understand that there were minor rectification works carried out at this crossing in August 2019; however, these works seem to have broken up again and the issue is again of concern to residents. So the action I seek from the minister is to ensure repairs are carried out on the McClelland Avenue level crossing in Lara.
