Ms ADDISON (Wendouree) (11:50:06): My question is for the Minister for Roads in the other place and is about the Ballarat Safer Cycling Connections Sturt Street shared path in my electorate of Wendouree.

Sturt Street is Ballarat’s iconic boulevard and the spine of our beautiful city. The centre median is the place of our cenotaph, where we gather to remember those who served. It is also the home of important statues, including Eureka leader Peter Lalor and war heroes Pompey Elliott and Sir Albert Coates. It has well-established trees and garden beds that are valued by all residents.

Minister, can you please advise how the plan for the Ballarat Safer Cycling Connections Sturt Street shared path will improve road safety for bike riders and the broader community whilst protecting the heritage of Sturt Street and our important memorials, statues, trees and garden beds?
