Western Metropolitan Region
Moira DEEMING (Western Metropolitan) (12:58): (66) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. When will the government deliver on their promise, now two years overdue, to deliver the promised intersection upgrade at the intersection of Hopkins Road and Boundary Road? Two budgets have come and gone, but the upgrade is nowhere to be seen. This intersection has no dedicated right-turn signal, so trucks line up waiting to turn right while cars that want to go straight are stuck behind them. This shambolic situation that was supposed to be temporary has in fact lasted for years. Twenty-seven thousand vehicles a day shuttle up and down it, including heavy trucks making deliveries and removals from building sites. It is a standard rural road and a single carriageway. It is full of potholes, and stretches of it are unsealed. My residents are suffering, and they need to know when the government plans on investing in the west and making this upgrade.
