Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (13:12): I was also able to witness the shocking state of the region’s bridges, road infrastructure and transport issues with member for South-West Coast Roma Britnell, who visited my electorate last week. Of particular concern are the decaying flood-impacted Chinamans and Kirwans bridges near Nagambie, which are having a considerable impact on our region’s waterways, local economy, tourism and sporting clubs. With major sections of the Goulburn River under an exclusion zone, accessibility is limited and there are genuine safety concerns for locals who travel near these bridges. Local community groups are continuing to advocate for updates from the government but have been ignored time and time again.
