Western Metropolitan Region
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (14:01): (1201) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and is regarding the Leakes Road off ramp at the Western Freeway. Could the minister please update my constituents on when the signalling and lighting issue at the Leakes Road off ramp will be resolved? It has been nine months since the matter was raised by the council with the Department of Transport and Planning. The Leakes Road off ramp does not have appropriate functioning traffic signals or sufficient lighting due to rampant copper wire theft. This has resulted in a widespread issue, with traffic piling up on the freeway, creating dangerous situations for all Western Freeway users. Residents are currently petitioning for the intersection to be fixed. My constituents want to know when the Allan Labor government will stop neglecting the west by delaying and cancelling major projects. Could the minister please provide an update on when this intersection will be fixed?
