 David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:54): (1182) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A constituent contacted my office last week after their tyre blew out after hitting a pothole on Boundary Road close to the roundabout near Lower Dandenong Road. This is not only costly for residents of the south-east but it is also dangerous. The constituent shared the information on a community group on Facebook as a safety notice. There were many comments of concern from other locals highlighting that Boundary Road and Lower Dandenong Road are full of dangerous potholes. Some people avoid the roads altogether due to the road condition, and others stated that you needed to drive in the right lane for some distance to avoid all of the potholes. These roads need to be maintained at a safe level, and my question is: when can I tell my constituents that this is done?
