Western Metropolitan Region

Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (13:03): (1359) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure regarding the proposed closure of Champion Road. I recently received correspondence from my constituents and the mayor of Hobsons Bay detailing their concern around the proposed closure of Champion Road and a new development at Maddox Road and Akuna Drive. This proposed closure of Champion Road in the current state does not fully fit the best interests of the community at heart. Maddox Road has a primary school and a childcare facility, and the proposed development would increase road usage and reduce overall community safety. So could the minister please update my constituents on whether the government will urgently review the proposed position on the closure of Champion Road and listen to community concerns and put their community interests first?
