Adjournment

Ms STITT (Western Metropolitan—Minister for Workplace Safety, Minister for Early Childhood) (19:21): I move:

That the house do now adjourn.

Bamford Avenue–Forman Street–Mickleham Road, Westmeadows

Mr ONDARCHIE (Northern Metropolitan) (19:21): (1953) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Attwood residents are concerned about traffic and congestion and the time it takes them to get to work. Every morning Attwood residents experience choked roads and frustration that the traffic is banked up around the Bamford Avenue, Forman Street and Mickleham Road intersection. I am very, very grateful to those residents who responded to my recent community survey.

Mr Finn: Did you do a survey?

Mr ONDARCHIE: I did do a survey. I did, and they responded very well. Residents have told me that it is a nightmare trying to turn right at this intersection and that it affects their ability to get to work on time and during the morning peak hour, and especially in the evening trying to get home to their families. The action I seek from the minister by way of directing the Department of Transport is to do an investigation on the intersection of Bamford Avenue, Forman Street and Mickleham Road near Attwood so my residents can spend less time in traffic and more time with their families.
