Northern Victoria Region roads

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 209 signatures:

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the number of potholes and dangerous conditions of northeast Victorian roads. These dangerous conditions are causing serious damage to vehicles, creating hazards for locals who use the roads daily to commute to and from work and deterring tourists from visiting the area. The relevant departments and government agencies need to investigate and rectify issues, including but not limited to, on the Murray Valley Highway at Huon, the Kiewa Valley Highway at Kiewa, the Murray River Road at Talgarno, Lockharts Gap Road at Tallandoon and the Omeo Highway in the Mitta Valley.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to investigate and rectify the potholes and the dangerous conditions of northeast Victorian roads.

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL: I move:

That the petition be taken into consideration on the next day of meeting.

Motion agreed to.
