Northern Metropolitan Region
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:53): (1156) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety regarding lighting on Mickleham Road and Somerton Road in my electorate. I know Mr Erdogan would take a keen interest in this as well. These are vital state arterial roads that are frequented by thousands of constituents daily, including Mr Erdogan. It was raised recently with me by many constituents particularly along Mickleham Road between Alanbrae Terrace and Greenvale Drive that there are no lights along this stretch of road. The road line markings are quite faded, and my constituents are asking for some LED lighting as well. I am hoping the minister can assist me with that. Many constituents have said it is extremely dark, and where there is no lighting it makes it extremely challenging to drive. So I ask the minister to please outline what work will be done to improve the safety of Mickleham and Somerton roads in terms of street lighting.
