Constituency questions
Preston electorate
Preston electorate
Nathan LAMBERT (Preston) (14:51): (281) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and my question is: is Gumbrae Street in Reservoir the shortest street in all of Melbourne? Now, we understand that the department has a comprehensive list of all of the streets in Victoria, and we are just hoping someone can sort it by length and confirm that – not lanes or places – the shortest street is in Reservoir. There is actually a great article online about the seven wonders of Reservoir, and it lists Gumbrae Street as one of those wonders. If you ever jog past it on Allan Street, you can see that they started this street and then they decided to put a park there, and they did not finish it. It is about 3 metres long. It is hard to imagine any street could be shorter, but we look forward to an understanding of where Gumbrae Street does sit in the citywide rankings.
