Ms ADDISON (Wendouree) (12:56): My question is directed to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and is about the Andrews Labor government’s commitment to keep Ballarat moving by upgrading key intersections and addressing traffic congestion across the electorate of Wendouree.

Ballarat drivers know firsthand that it is getting busier and harder to access central Ballarat, particularly from our growing suburbs to the west. There are also significant levels of traffic on our roads during school drop-off and pick-up times as our population continues to grow.

Across the electorate of Wendouree we need to address increased congestion and improve traffic flow at key intersections, add some lanes to roundabouts and replace some other high-traffic roundabouts with traffic lights.

My question to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety is: what are the next steps that are being taken to upgrade key intersections across my electorate of Wendouree to fix the bottlenecks and to keep Ballarat moving?
