Northern Victoria Region
Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:53): My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. When will the government complete Cameron Street and/or Gunns Gully Road from the Hume Freeway to Merriang Road to provide a northern entry and exit point to housing estates on Donnybrook Road? Seven years ago the Donnybrook–Woodstock Precinct Structure Plan provided for two roads running east–west parallel to and north of Donnybrook Road, Cameron Street and Gunns Gully Road. These roads will link the housing estates along Donnybrook Road to each other, provide alternative routes into and out of the housing estates and provide bridge crossings over the railway line. A recent truck collision on Donnybrook Road caused traffic chaos in both directions for hours and prevented residents from returning home, highlighting Labor’s serious planning failures. The minister recently stated that the government was working to deliver an interchange at the Hume Freeway and Gunns Gully Road. This must be done as soon as possible, and the minister must inform my constituents when the road will be completed all the way to Merriang Road.
