Constituency questions

Southern Metropolitan Region


Southern Metropolitan Region

Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (12:55): (1655) My matter is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. I want to ask a question: will she prepare a solution, a detailed business case and work on the intersection of Burwood Highway and Elgar Road? This is a very busy intersection. It is an intersection that carries significant risk, and this matter has been raised with me by Asher Judah, a very active local person who is determined to fight for the rights of people through this electorate. Passengers disembarking from the 767 heading north in the middle of the road are at risk. Traffic banks up on both sides of Burwood Highway, for those turning north in particular into Elgar Road. The residents of the Uniting AgeWell retirement village and Presbyterian Ladies College have also raised concerns. So there are a number of people who are very concerned about this intersection. It needs a proper solution, and I am asking the minister: is she prepared to prepare that paper of options for that intersection?
