Western Victoria Region

 Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (12:56): (2413) Last Friday I was joined by my colleagues Mrs McArthur and Mr Mulholland on a tour of Melton infrastructure needs. We looked at the Western Highway, Melton Highway, Ferris Road, Taylors Road, Hopkins Road and the Palmers Road corridor. The City of Melton has the highest growth area infrastructure contribution in the state of $420 million, yet only $225.9 million has been allocated. A missing $164 million is unallocated. My question is to the Minister for Planning: will you release these funds and partner with the City of Melton, who want to deliver much-needed infrastructure, like we do on this side, to benefit the community in the west who are struggling with gridlock?
