Northern Victoria Region
Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:56): (646) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and it concerns the continued neglect of safety of pedestrians at the Kialla West Primary School crossing. I first raised this issue in 2018, and it is disappointing that there has been no action from the government. Five years ago a horrific three-vehicle accident occurred at the crossing. Jane Sharp and her two eldest daughters were treated at Goulburn Valley Health, but unfortunately Jane’s youngest daughter Addison had to be airlifted to the Royal Children’s Hospital. To this day Addison, who graduated from the school last year, still faces challenges because of this incident. Given that every response I have received in the past five years regarding this issue has claimed that Regional Roads Victoria is working with the school and local council to explore solutions for the crossing and the school council is yet unaware of any progress, my question for the minister is: will you organise a meeting between Regional Roads Victoria and me in order for them to provide me with an update on their progress?
