Northern Victoria Region
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:43): (1836) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and my constituents ask: when will the resurfacing works on the Benalla-Yarrawonga Road be completed? While my constituents are delighted to see that resurfacing works on the Benalla-Yarrawonga Road between Yarrawonga and Lake Rowan have been completed, they have raised concerns over the surface conditions between Lake Rowan and Benalla that seem to have been overlooked. Drivers face deep potholes, rutting, rough surfaces and crumbling bitumen in many sections of this stretch of road. This road is frequented by large trucks and cars travelling between Yarrawonga and Benalla. This is not some back road that should be ignored by the government. Main thoroughfares like the Benalla-Yarrawonga Road should be maintained to a high standard to prevent damage to vehicles and potentially accidents. So my constituents ask: when will the resurfacing works on the Benalla-Yarrawonga Road be completed?
