Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr BARTON (Eastern Metropolitan) (12:43): (1841) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I had a constituent in Knox contact me regarding the development of the State Basketball Centre. They support the development and are very excited to see the project, which will be completed next year. However, the centre, once completed, is expected to have 2 million visitors annually, and there is only one exit in the car park, which already suffers from traffic jams. My constituent is concerned that, with 12 more courts being built and one exit onto a one-lane road, fans will spend forever getting into and out of the complex. So, Minister, has there been a traffic management plan created for the State Basketball Centre in Knox, and if so, will you release it?
