North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:06): (1011) My question today is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it relates to traffic noise pollution from Wattletree Road in Eltham North. I have heard from residents whose homes and gardens back onto Wattletree Road that the noise from increased traffic, particularly larger cars and larger trucks, has made their backyards practically unusable. They have suggested that a soil barrier along the side of Wattletree Road has been used in other sections of that same road to block and absorb some of that noise. Minister, will you consider installing a soil noise barrier along the western side of Wattletree Road in Eltham North between Glen Gully Road and Casuarina Ridge?
