Eastern Victoria Region
Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:43): (38) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. It relates to the unsafe and shoddy roads in and around the region of Pakenham. Potholes are causing major structural damage to vehicles and are a major safety aspect for motorists. Many of those severely damaged vehicles are costing thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses. Significant roads to note are the Old Princes Highway and the Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road, which are absolutely shoddy, potholed and dangerous. Will the minister expedite funds as a priority to repair uneven, crumbling surfaces and properly maintain these two specific roads?
