 Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:51): (2367) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and my constituents ask when they can expect the promised repairs to Echuca–Mooroopna road at Undera to be completed. On 14 November 2025 I asked the then minister for urgent repairs to be undertaken on the Echuca–Mooroopna road between Mooroopna and Undera. On 21 November 2025 the minister responded that more than 40 routine maintenance and resurfacing jobs had been completed in this financial year. Last week Paul the roadside warrior reached out to my office with photos of the worsening conditions of this road. He stated that on the Mooroopna side of the Lancaster turn-off near Undera, the potholes and crumbling surface have been marked and re-marked for repair at least three times in 18 months, yet it still has not been repaired. Within 6 feet of some of these markings there are even bigger potholes that are not marked for repair. Perhaps the minister could give the Department of Transport and Planning a gentle reminder that the Echuca–Mooroopna road still needs to be repaired, because it seems it has been forgotten.
