Warrandyte electorate
Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (14:59): (678) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. When will the government fix the dangerous intersection of Marbert Court and Kangaroo Ground-Warrandyte Road, where a man tragically lost his life in a crash two weeks ago? My constituent Kim Williams, who lives on Marbert Court, raised safety concerns about the intersection with my predecessor in 2020, who too had raised it with the minister, as many residents felt that an accident was inevitable due to the road’s design. Sadly, on 12 May their worst fears were realised when a motorcyclist was killed and another was left clinging to life in hospital. This has devastated the local community and left residents of Marbert Court scared and shocked. Every day residents turning in and out of the court face this dangerous intersection in fear. Minister, I implore you to urgently investigate and implement critical safety improvements at this intersection.
