Cranbourne electorate
Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (14:54): (827) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. How will my community benefit from the massive work being undertaken on the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road upgrade project? Cranbourne is unrecognisable from only a couple of years ago, with major works complete on Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and many others as well. We have put extra lanes and upgraded key intersections along Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road to make it quicker, easier and safer to get where you need to be. Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road has enabled straight-through movement travelling north from the South Gippy, which has reduced traffic and the amount of trucks on High Street and improved the way you move through Cranbourne. We have installed new pedestrian-operated traffic lights south of the Hunt Club Boulevard, making it easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the busy road to get to nearby schools and recreation precincts. My community is just delighted with the change. I was rapt to have the minister in Cranbourne recently and to get the opportunity to meet Alaska and Catherine, and I look forward to sharing the minister’s response.
