Constituency questions
Eildon electorate
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (14:34): (40) My question is to the Minister for Public Transport. The residents of Merton are still waiting for upgrades to their bus stop, the Melbourne-bound one on the Maroondah Highway. On writing to the minister, he responded to me in October 2022 to say that in coming months the Department of Transport would upgrade the requested bus stop. This would include lighting, and if required, a solar sensor light at the bus stop would be installed. It has been four months since that time. No upgrade works have commenced. It is still unsafe for communities and does need urgent attention. The residents of Merton want to know when those works will begin.
