Northern Victoria Region
Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:35): (175) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it concerns the ongoing drainage issues of a constituent of mine living on the Murchison-Tatura Road in Murchison. Mr Robert Wright first contacted my office in December 2022 complaining that roadworks on the Murchison-Tatura Road outside his property had negatively impacted the drainage system along the side of the road. As a result his front paddock is now subject to flooding during rain events, rendering the paddock useless for sowing crops. I have previously written to the minister requesting that Regional Roads Victoria consult with Mr Wright on the issue, and I have also requested the same personally of the director of Regional Roads Victoria, Hume region. To date no satisfactory consultation has occurred with Mr Wright to help resolve this issue. Will the minister direct Regional Roads Victoria management to engage with Mr Wright to finally resolve the drainage issue outside his Murchison-Tatura Road property?
