 Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (19:24): (2111) My adjournment is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I received correspondence from a constituent. He says:

I live in Yackandandah, you may be aware recently there has been a partial road closure on the Yack to Wodonga Road caused by a “sinkhole”. This particular part of the road has been an issue for several years but now due to the partial road closure and traffic light system, I’m concerned that this will be the remedy for the upcoming months based on recent history of how the Victorian government manage their roads. I wondered if you were able to find out if there is any timeframe for this to be repaired as many of my local friends as I do travel on that road daily for work. There’s currently no infrastructure or equipment to show that there’s any potential repairs to be done in the near future.

It has a severe impact on the journey time, safety of other road users travelling on that road and tourism.

The action I seek is for the minister to investigate this issue and to ensure that the road is repaired as promptly as possible and provide a timeframe.
