Eastern Victoria Region
Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:59): (265) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and my constituent writes about the Baxter-Tooradin Road between the South Gippsland Highway and the Fisheries Road and Cannons Creek Road roundabout. This stretch of road received multimillion-dollar upgrades a few years ago to create the roundabout, but unfortunately for my constituent – and I can sympathise because I have been down that road only recently – the road surface itself was not part of the upgrade. The upgrade was about putting in a roundabout, but the road integrity and the road surface are deplorable. He also said there are new highway stabilisers and that they are putting in wire rope barriers so you cannot fall off the edge of the road, but the state of the road is shocking. Will the minister resurface and fix these potholes to drastically improve road safety on this particular stretch of road?
