 Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. My constituent is a resident of Hampton Park. She has contacted my office concerning road safety in the City of Casey. The intersections connecting the South Gippsland Highway with the Cranbourne Homemaker Centre rank as the third highest in Casey for vehicle collisions and near misses thanks to the high levels of traffic and low visibility. From January 2020 to December 2024, 67 crashes were recorded along this stretch of the South Gippsland Highway. While projects have been initiated addressing road safety at other sections of the South Gippsland Highway, this area remains overlooked, so my constituent asks: will the minister prioritise road safety upgrades near the Cranbourne Homemaker Centre on South Gippsland Highway?
