Pakenham electorate roads
Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (17:21): (692) My adjournment is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action I seek is for the minister to visit Pakenham to see the site of the recently funded road improvements to McGregor Road in Pakenham. Through the GAIC, the growth areas infrastructure contribution fund, $6 million worth of funding was announced to improve traffic in the McGregor Road corridor. We are duplicating the road under the new rail bridge and adding traffic lights at Henty Street. This will be the final part to be duplicated for McGregor Road between the Monash Freeway and Princes Highway. The signalisation will improve safety for vehicles turning from the Henty Street T-junction now that the level crossing at McGregor Road is almost gone – in fact it goes on Monday. I look forward to hosting the minister in my electorate to talk more broadly about roads within the Pakenham electorate and the importance of road safety for my growing community.
