Northern Metropolitan Region
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (13:01): (477) My constituency question is directed towards the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. My electorate of Northern Metropolitan Region is one of Melbourne’s fastest growing areas. More infrastructure is desperately needed, and traffic is an issue that is frequently raised by my constituents. While I am pleased to see work is underway on the Craigieburn Road duplication – which the government was dragged kicking and screaming to by former Liberal candidate and Hume councillor Jim Overend – which was significantly funded by the former federal coalition government, my constituents are very concerned about rumours of blowouts and delays. So can the minister please update my constituents on the funding allocated specifically to this upgrade, when he expects the project to be completed and how much he expects the project to cost.
Sitting suspended 1:02 pm until 2:06 pm.
