Narracan electorate
Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (14:45): (138) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Residents in Drouin are desperate for intersection upgrades and road improvements. They are part of the Baw Baw shire, which is the ninth fastest growing local government area in Australia and the fifth fastest in Victoria. One project the community believes could be delivered quickly and provide immediate relief is the reopening of the former highway on and off ramps between the Princes Highway and Buln Buln Road. This would give new estates in Drouin East access to the highway without the need to come back through residential areas. Many intersections in Drouin and Warragul are unsuitable for traffic. They have new estates opening almost weekly. Action needs to be taken now, as well as planning for the longer term. Drouin residents want to know: will the minister take immediate action to reopen this highway access to give traffic relief for this community?
