Northern Victoria Region

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:57): (710) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety in the other place. For months my constituents have been alerting me to the downright dangerous condition of the Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road. In numerous places the road is crumbling, rutting and full of potholes, which can cause damage to the hundreds of cars, trucks and buses that travel it every single day. One of the main issues is the deep rutting at the intersection of Katandra Main Road, Victoria Road and the Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road. As a main thoroughfare from the towns of Cobram, Katamatite and Tocumwal, it is vital that this road is maintained and kept in good condition. My constituents ask the minister: when will the Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road actually be fixed properly and not patched up only to fail a few days later?
