 Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (18:52): (1053) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety in the other place. The Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road is the link for the communities of Cobram, Katamatite, Invergordon, Katandra West, Tallygaroopna and Congupna with Shepparton. Hundreds of trucks, buses, cars and motorcycles travel this road daily. I have already raised the condition of this road with the minister several times, to no avail. In the past few weeks sections of this road have crumbled down to the dirt base and large dangerous potholes have formed. Constituents have reported vehicles being thrown off course by these dangerous conditions. These damaged sections of road are almost impossible to see on the foggy mornings this area has been having. There are no warning signs for drivers of these dangerous conditions ahead. The action I seek is for the minister to redirect Regional Roads Victoria to rectify the dangerous conditions of the Katamatite-Shepparton Main Road as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the great number of travellers using it every day.
