Albacutya Bridge
Emma KEALY (Lowan) (09:50): The Albacutya Bridge is an issue I have raised in this place many times. It was heavily deteriorating and falling apart and had to be closed in October 2021. It was reopened after funding from the state, federal and local governments and was looking fabulous back in May 2022, but less than a year later the road has again been closed. This is a major thoroughfare to the gypsum pits through that area. It needs to be reopened as soon as possible. Given the state government have provided funding previously, I urge the government to provide additional funding to make sure this key route for the agricultural sector is reopened as soon as possible.
