Constituency questions

South Eastern Metropolitan Region


Mr RICH-PHILLIPS

South Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr RICH-PHILLIPS (South Eastern Metropolitan) (12:40): (1980) My constituency question today is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and in particular it relates to Berwick-Cranbourne Road, which is a major north–south arterial in my electorate which is in need of substantial upgrade through to Cranbourne and through to the South Gippsland Highway. The particular matter I raise today is the state of Berwick-Cranbourne Road following recent rain events. The road surface has washed away substantially; there are now enormous potholes in the road. In fact I have seen videos taken by constituents showing them needing to swerve around potholes on Berwick-Cranbourne Road. It is a dangerous situation; it needs to be rectified. It should have been rectified by now. It has been like that for well over a month. I ask the minister: when will repairs be made to Berwick-Cranbourne Road to fix those potholes?
