Northern Victoria Region
Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:41): (381) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Better Futures Romsey is a community group that actively advocates on issues concerning the future development of the Romsey region. For quite some time members of the group have attempted to ascertain what plans the government has to improve road infrastructure throughout the Romsey region. Located 64 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, residents of Romsey currently have no easy access to a major freeway to Melbourne, despite research detailed in a draft Romsey Structure Plan indicating that in 2021, 28 per cent of the population commuted to the metropolitan area for work each day. The residents of Romsey are entitled to know what plans the state government has to improve road infrastructure in the region, but local member Mary-Anne Thomas has failed to outline the government’s plans. Will the minister detail any plans the government has to improve road infrastructure for the Romsey community into the future?
