Yan Yean electorate infrastructure

Lauren KATHAGE (Yan Yean) (10:27): The snags were turning, the kids were playing and the workers were relaxing as we celebrated the completion of the Bridge Inn Road upgrade on the weekend. This road has transformed the connection between Mernda and Doreen. I want to give a very big thankyou to all the residents for their patience while this important work was completed and also a big thankyou to the workers. I loved seeing all the workers’ cars parked there, seeing all the jobs created.

Now that project has finished they will not be out of work because we have got more projects on the boil, with the Yan Yean Road stage 2 upgrade having the boundaries surveyed, the landholder and stakeholder discussions taking place and the Watson Street ramps having the soil tech and drilling checks of what sort of pavement can go in. We are preparing to continue this infrastructure work in the electorate of Yan Yean. It is only this government that has invested in infrastructure in my electorate. Whether it is Bridge Inn Road upgrade, Yan Yean Road stage 1 or stage 2, Plenty Road upgrade or Watson Street ramps, we continue to build infrastructure that people need and jobs that people want.
