Northern Victoria Region

Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:54): (622) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it concerns the alarming state of the C351 Lancaster-Mooroopna Road between Echuca Road and Lancaster. The C351 Lancaster-Mooroopna Road is an arterial road which connects Echuca Road to Lancaster and extends through to Kyabram. The Lancaster-Mooroopna Road is heavily relied upon by domestic and freight vehicles, with numerous milk tankers using the route daily. However, the damage, which has gradually worsened, has placed drivers in unwarranted danger. With sections of poor visibility, potholes and surface damage, this road is unsafe. Motorists deserve better. They do the right thing by keeping their cars roadworthy, but this government lets motorists down by not providing roads that are carworthy. My question for the minister is: will you order immediate repairs of the Lancaster-Mooroopna Road on the westbound and eastbound lanes?
