South Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (12:48): (1894) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A constituent living adjacent to the roadworks happening on Hall Road between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway in Skye has contacted my office regarding some concerns with the project. While some disruption is inevitable, this constituent has expressed concern that the current traffic management plan is contributing to car accidents at the McCormicks Road intersection and preventing access via Edinburgh Drive and Rangeview Drive. This constituent has suggested that shifting the temporary traffic lights to the other side of Edinburgh Drive might assist in reducing accidents and improving road access while there are no roadworks in this section. Will the minister contact the project managers and request that the traffic management plan is reviewed to improve safety and road access?
