 Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (13:01): My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A constituent has contacted me regarding a road sign at the intersection of the Northern Highway and the Seymour-Tooborac Road in Tooborac. The sign was damaged in a storm prior to November 2024, which is when my constituent first contacted VicRoads to advise this, which is now more than 15 months ago. He has since reported this issue on three occasions and been provided three different reference numbers. My office has also reported it to VicRoads. Driving across Northern Victoria I have also noticed many state road signs that need to be cleaned due to lichen. Concerns have also been raised about obscured road signs due to overgrown vegetation, which cause a safety risk. Could the minister please ensure that this road sign is fixed and advise what programs are in place to ensure state road signs are promptly repaired and maintained?
