My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety.
Last year plans were announced to upgrade the intersection of Barwon Heads Road and Golf Links Road in Barwon Heads.
This was an important project to include the installation of raised wombat crossings and pedestrian crossings on both the western and southern sides of the intersection to improve pedestrian safety.
The action I seek is for the minister to provide an update on the timeline of the delivery of this project.
Over the past year we have seen a number of road safety upgrades delivered across the Bellarine, including new pedestrian crossings in Ocea
n Grove and improved safety at the entrance of Clifton Springs boat harbour. Current works are also underway to install rail safety guards along the Bellarine Highway. We are carrying out resurfacing between Wallington and Leopold and the construction of a new roundabout at Connewarre to enhance safety at a particularly busy intersection. These upgrades have a positive impact on our local road safety.
I look forward to sharing further information with my community on where the Barwon Heads Road and Golf Links Road intersection upgrades will proceed.
