Northern Metropolitan Region
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:33): (228) My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Suburban Development. Every day in the suburb of Kalkallo, which happens to be the minister’s electorate, residents have to leave home before 6:30 am to escape hour-long traffic chaos entering onto Donnybrook Road. I was at the Kalkallo market last Saturday hearing firsthand what it is like to live through this traffic nightmare of being forced onto a heavily congested, single-lane Donnybrook Road. It is in desperate need of duplication, yet despite years of outcry from residents, the government has sat on its hands. Given the minister is responsible for identifying what communities need to improve local living, I would think that being able to enter and leave their own neighbourhood would be a good start. Will the minister commit to improving local living in her electorate and ensure Donnybrook Road gets duplicated?
