Eltham electorate
Ms WARD (Eltham) (11:50): (2279) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. As the minister will be aware, for a number of years there have been traffic issues along Fitzsimons Lane, including at the roundabout where Main Road meets Fitzsimons Lane, especially for traffic coming from Lower Plenty and Montmorency. Last year Major Road Projects Victoria released a reference design for a new intersection at this site, which many in the community felt was too big. In response to my community’s concerns, MRPV has reduced the size of this new intersection. Minister, how much local landscape has been saved through this reduction and what will the traffic benefits be?
