Point Cook electorate
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (15:03): (815) The matter that I raise is for the Assistant Treasurer in his capacity as the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. The question that I have is: how will the intersection upgrade at Point Cook Road and Central Avenue decrease congestion in the community that I represent? Of course the infrastructure work that we are doing in Point Cook, and on Point Cook Road in particular, is incredibly important for the community that I represent. Everybody knows that Point Cook Road is the pinch point; it has been for decades. I see the member for Kororoit, who knows the area so well and the need for that improvement. If we get that intersection right, it will make a big difference to the many people who live in the community that I represent. Even better, the work on the Point Cook Road and Sneydes Road intersection is already massively underway, and I cannot wait for those improvements.
