 Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (14:02): (2399) My constituency question is for the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop. In Glen Waverley the hoarding around the RSL site has narrowed the laneway between Coleman Parade and Montclair Avenue alongside Kingsway to pedestrian-only access. Several local businesses back onto this laneway and depend on it for the delivery of stock and supplies, and it is essential to their staying open in fact. With the hoarding expanding into it, delivery trucks can no longer pass through. The site is owned by the Suburban Rail Loop Authority, and there have been repeated requests and indeed complaints from the Glen Waverley Traders Association over many months with no resolution. Could I ask the minister to please intervene with some common sense and ensure that we can restore safe delivery access to this laneway for the traders of Glen Waverley?
