 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:47): (2078) My constituency question is to the Minister for Planning, and it relates to the long-promised pedestrian bridge between Toyon Road across the Merri Creek from Kalkallo to Donnybrook. We know that in 2024, after significant community pressure plus my advocacy in the Parliament and the media, the government finally committed to using unspent owed developer contributions to build this, but I am continuing to receive countless messages from locals who are frustrated and increasingly sceptical that this project will ever be delivered. You have got a situation where the people from Kalkallo can see Donnybrook station to catch the train but they cannot physically walk there. So I am asking this government: when will this project actually be delivered? People and locals should be able to walk to a train station they can actually see. It does not happen under this government. They are too focused on elsewhere. They are too focused on themselves instead of the people of the northern suburbs.
