Laverton electorate
Sarah CONNOLLY (Laverton) (14:49): (1097) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. One of the big hot-topic projects in my electorate at the moment is the Boundary–Derrimut–Hopkins roads intersection upgrade that our government committed to in the 2022 budget. For anyone travelling between Wyndham and Melton this intersection has been an absolute nightmare and prone to accidents. It is why we have put up permanent/temporary traffic signals at the intersection to regulate traffic as an important stopgap solution. It has been quite the journey working through outstanding issues, but locals will be very pleased to know that we now know what this intersection will look like, with two new turning lanes going each way, including a dedicated left-turn lane on Derrimut Road. For folks travelling to work between Wyndham and Melton in the morning this will make a world of difference in travelling around this area. My question for the minister is this: when will works commence on this critical intersection upgrade in my electorate of Laverton?
