Western Metropolitan Region
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:47): (1650) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety regarding improving the safety, connectivity and management of Taylors Road in the west. Brimbank City Council has long advocated to the state government for funding and support to take management of Taylors Road and to declare the section of the road as an arterial road, bringing it into line with the rest of the carriageway. So I ask: did the minister make representations to the Treasurer to have Taylors Road between Kings Road and Watervale Boulevard upgraded in this year’s budget? The budget handed down on 20 May set aside $1.2 billion for projects to upgrade roads in growing suburbs, and yet it neglects improving the safety and connectivity of Taylors Road in the west.
