 Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:54): (1911) My question today is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. The Box Hill to Ringwood shared use path is an important, almost entirely off-road path that allows for pedestrian and cycling connections between Box Hill and Ringwood, as it says in the name. Cycling advocates, including Metro East Bicycle User Group and Whitehorse Active Transport Action Group, have long been calling for a further connection of this shared use path to Whitehorse Road. I am told this can be done through the laneway beside the Harvey Norman in Nunawading and along Richards Street in Mitcham. Whitehorse council, I understand, are investigating these proposals. Minister, can you please support Whitehorse council in their work to upgrade these important active transport connections in my region?
