Northern Metropolitan Region
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:58): (55) Last week the people of Wallan were forced to fill in a pothole by creating a makeshift garden bed and fruit tree that had a sign on it saying, ‘Wallan Botanical Gardens, sponsored by VicRoads.’ My question to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety is: given that the notorious pothole was fixed straight away after this, why must the people of Wallan resort to such drastic action in order to get the government to take some interest in the deplorable state of the Northern Highway in Wallan; will the minister review the maintenance schedule so that these potholes are fixed in a more timely manner; and will the minister come out with me and inspect the Northern Highway?
