South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:58): (1738) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety in the other place. The Shopping on Clyde precinct in Cranbourne has always experienced parking shortages since its initial construction in 2015. When the parking lots on either side of Morison Boulevard reach capacity, parking spills out into adjacent dense residential streets, reducing visibility of pedestrians and limiting space for cars to manoeuvre and park. Construction is currently underway at Shopping on Clyde to expand the number of shops at the site. A significant amount of parking has been blocked off to facilitate construction during this time, causing headaches and safety concerns for locals and backlogging traffic into the middle of the Berwick-Cranbourne Road intersection. What is more concerning is the lack of additional parking planned for the precinct once the expansion is complete. Given the number of pedestrians in the area from nearby residents, aged care facilities and the Blue Hills retirement village, what measures are being taken by the government to ensure current and future traffic flow in the area does not compromise the safety of local residents and precinct workers?
