Constituency questions
South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:49): (210) My question is for the Deputy Premier in her capacity as Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. The 2023–24 budget includes funding, as part of the $674 million roads blitz to get families home sooner and safer, to upgrade the intersection of Thompsons Road and Clyde Road in Clyde North in my electorate of South-Eastern Metropolitan Region. Many constituents have contacted me expressing the need for this intersection to be upgraded. I welcome this funding commitment to address the impact that this intersection has on my constituents’ commutes, especially during peak- and school-hour traffic. My question is: how many vehicles and commuters use the intersection of Thompsons Road and Clyde Road in Clyde North currently and how will they benefit from this infrastructure upgrade?
