Melrose Drive, Wodonga
Bill TILLEY (Benambra) (09:53): On another matter, I also believe it is not an unreal expectation to have the suicide barriers on Melrose Drive over the Hume Freeway in Wodonga finally built. I have lost count of the promises made on this. In August it was five years since Ken Wright’s wife Carolyn died at this bridge. Federal money has been available since 2019, money in the state budget since 2022. In February the Minister for Roads and Road Safety said it would be done in the second half of the year, contracts were tendered and fabrication works were set to go. It is now mid-October and there is no sign of any action.
