Victorian Legislative Council
Rachel Payne MP raised a constituency question to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. On behalf of a constituent, Rachel asked if the minister will commit to maintaining the cleanliness of Frankston freeway, areas of which are frequently marred by rubbish dumping and overgrowth of weeds.
RACHEL PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan): My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety.
My constituent is a resident of Frankston South, and as part of their commute they regularly drive along the Frankston Freeway. In the stretch of road along the Frankston Freeway between Frankston-Dandenong Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road they consistently observe rubbish, including old mattresses and dumped furniture, long grass and excessive weeds.
This is a danger to public health, the environment and driver safety. It is also a source of shame for my constituent when driving visitors around the area. Their attempts to raise the issue with VicRoads have been unsuccessful, so my constituent asks: will the minister ensure the Frankston Freeway is cleaned up and regularly maintained as a matter of urgency?
