 Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:57): (2273) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and is regarding Wattle Avenue traffic congestion in Werribee in light of another accident last week. Wattle Avenue in Werribee is facing ongoing traffic congestion, increasing volume of through traffic and heightened safety concerns for residents. With a growing population, this issue has arisen particularly due to changes in surrounding arterial roads managed by the state’s roads management. Can the minister please update my constituents on whether the Department of Transport and Planning has undertaken, or does it plan to conduct, any further traffic modelling or assessment of conditions on Wattle Avenue following the abandonment of the previous proposed changes to the intersection of Princes Highway, Tarneit Road and Wattle Avenue?
