Koo Wee Rup Road

In reply to  Mr O’DONOHUE (Eastern Victoria) (14 August 2019)

Ms PULFORD (Western Victoria—Minister for Roads, Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, Minister for Fishing and Boating):

The Department of Transport (DoT) manages the arterial road network in accordance with its Road Management Plan. According to the plan, Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road is classified as a category 3 road, which is required to be inspected weekly.

The recent wet weather conditions have led to rapid and widespread deterioration of some sections of the arterial road network, including the section of Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road between Pakenham and Koo Wee Rup. Besides carrying out minor pothole patching repairs, DoT has managed this road section by providing appropriate signage to warn road users of changes in road conditions.

I am pleased to advise that DoT completed further pavement repair works on the section of the road between Manks Road and Hall Road in early September 2019. These works have rectified the large potholes encountered by your constituent.

DoT will continue to monitor this section of the road as part of its maintenance program and will carry out any necessary short-term works to ensure that it keeps the road in a safe condition.
