South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:42): (163) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety Ms Horne. My constituent is a Noble Park resident who has been part of a decade-long campaign for a road safety upgrade at the Heatherton Road and Douglas Street roundabout outside of the Noble Park activity centre. Despite designs being drawn up in 2010 for a roundabout to be replaced by crossing signals, my constituent has not seen any upgrades or funding committed to improve this busy stretch of road. The government’s 2018 level crossing removal project in Noble Park increased the number of pedestrians and cyclists accessing the activity centre, and after some near misses pedestrians fear that an upgrade is more vital than ever. So my constituent asks: when will we see crossing signals replace the Heatherton Road roundabout in Noble Park?
