Constituency questions

Monbulk electorate


Daniela DE MARTINO

Monbulk electorate

Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (14:56): (738) My question is directed to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Following the recent landslip on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road near Mason Grove in Sassafras, could the minister please advise what measures are being taken to ensure the safety and accessibility of the area for local residents and visitors. On 16 July, after heavy rainfall, a landslip occurred on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road. The response was swift, and the road was reopened the following day in a collaborative effort between the Emerald SES and the Department of Transport and Planning. The road in this section is now down to one lane, with temporary signals managing the flow of traffic. This is an essential thoroughfare for my constituents and the many visitors to the Dandenong Ranges who come to enjoy our natural beauty and great food and retail offerings. I look forward to sharing any information which the minister can provide.
