Constituency questions

Berwick electorate


Berwick electorate

Brad BATTIN (Berwick) (14:41): (134) My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, and I ask for information around the completion of the works for O’Shea Road in Berwick. I have been contacted by Robert, who has raised some very important issues in relation to what is supposed to be a completed project already. It continuously has to be closed at night with lane closures, detours and disruptions as part of the planning process, which appears to be a very poor planning process. He has complained about the issue with the artist’s impression versus what the final product is; the landscaping – they were promised 43,000 native plants but they appear not to have been put in through the area; the signage through the area, which is poor and could potentially cause an accident; and the speed at which cars enter into O’Shea Road from Wordsworth and Riviera drives, which could end up in a major collision. Robert said he tried to raise this with the former representative for that area, who was from Labor, but was dismissed, and he hopes it will get a response this time.
