Constituency questions

Northern Metropolitan Region

Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) (12:36): (1833) My question is for Minister Carroll, and it is in relation to the safety of Nicholson Street. There is a very active community group that has been advocating for changes to Nicholson Street up at the Coburg end, where in a 24-hour period just a few months ago there were over three collisions. A person has died in this particular area of Nicholson Street in Coburg. They have been writing to the minister, they have been writing to the department and they have just not received anything. Will the minister urgently provide a funding commitment to mitigate the risk of death or serious injury to the lives of people who live and travel through that locality?
