Northern Victoria Region

Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (13:02): (501) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and regards the dismal state of the C356, the Rushworth-Tatura Road. Rushworth-Tatura Road is an arterial road which is a key corridor between the two towns. It connects to both the Bendigo-Murchison Road and the Murchison-Tatura Road, which carry a high volume of traffic daily. Significant amounts of domestic vehicles and trucks use this road every day, and many constituents have reported the conditions of the road have become absolutely and increasingly hazardous. Damage is littered between the two towns, with significant damage being present on the northbound lane to the Waranga Basin, which has caused many cars to have to drive on the opposite side of the road. My question for the minister is: will you order immediate repairs to the Rushworth-Tatura Road on both the northbound and the southbound lanes?
