Western Metropolitan Region
Dr CUMMING (Western Metropolitan) (12:59): (1658) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure in the other place, from residents in Caroline Springs. Will the minister urgently look at upgrading these intersections with massive issues with traffic flow: Taylors Road and Sinclairs Road as well as the roundabout at Taylors Road, Gourlay Road and Caroline Springs Boulevard? In these areas there are massive new housing estates, and there is also a new retirement village. Access to those estates is through one road with only one lane in each direction. Some mornings it takes 45 minutes to get out of the Taylors Road roundabout. Residents are not just concerned about the congestion. They also believe that this is a possible deathtrap. Minister, please, for the sake of the Caroline Springs residents, look into this issue.
