Northern Metropolitan Region

In reply to Mr ONDARCHIE (Northern Metropolitan) (21 March 2019)

Ms PULFORD (Western Victoria—Minister for Roads, Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, Minister for Fishing and Boating):

While I can confirm that modelling and analysis were undertaken as part of the Streamlining Hoddle Street Project, the project team works for Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV), which falls within the portfolio responsibilities of the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, the Hon Jacinta Allan MP. As such, 1 am asking Minister Allan to respond to Mr Ondarchie’s request.

The intersection of Punt Road/Swan Street/Olympic Boulevard is a very complex and unique intersection. VicRoads advises that it will continue to work with MRPV and review the performance of the site, specifically during peak periods, and will implement adjustments to the operation of traffic lights to further improve the safety and movement for road users travelling through this area.
