Northern Metropolitan Region

Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:39): (1084) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and concerns the roundabout on Settlement Road and Dalton Road, in Thomastown. Minister, I have recently been contacted by a constituent, Mr Daniel Binns, about the road safety at this intersection. The intersection of Settlement Road and Dalton Road is a busy roundabout with a petrol station, a Bunnings Warehouse and a large number of other retailers and businesses. Mr Binns wrote to VicRoads to outline his concerns about the safety of this intersection and asked them to consider installing traffic lights. I have seen the response from VicRoads, and its generic copy-and-paste response is far from ideal and also terrible customer service. My question to the minister is to ask the minister to investigate what actions can be taken to improve safety at this intersection and provide me with information I can pass on to my constituent.
