Mr  J. BULL (Sunbury) — (9993) Like the good member for Shepparton, my adjournment matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety.

The action I seek is for the minister to visit my electorate and discuss the future of Sunbury Road. I have discussed this matter in the house before, and I know the Sunbury and broader Macedon Ranges community is very keen to see this road improved. Sunbury Road is becoming increasingly busy, carrying 25 000 vehicles per day, with certainly more growth expected due to considerable development in the area. There have been 60 crashes over the last five-year recorded period.

Two of these, sadly, resulted in fatalities and 27 in serious injury.

We know Victoria is experiencing significant population growth with over 100 000 new people calling Victoria home each year. With this growth comes new exciting opportunities, new jobs, new investment and new ideas. The Andrews government is getting on with delivering the most important projects that cater for this growth. Ensuring that such growth is managed is an important function of government and an important role of ours as advocates for our respective communities. That is why earlier this year I was so thrilled to join with the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to announce $6.4 million in vital funding for the Gap Road–Horn Street roundabout, a pressure point of local congestion, and also $3.1 million for the Mickleham Road–Melrose Drive roundabout, another project certainly important for the residents of Gladstone Park and Tullamarine, the member for Yuroke and her community and also places like Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park and Greenvale. Tonight I ask the minister to visit my electorate to see Sunbury Road and discuss the future duplication of this very important linkage.
