MEMBER for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell says that since the State Government made a budget commitment to upgrade a key intersection on the Goulburn Valley Highway, “not one shovel has struck the ground to commence work.”
The State Government committed $10.2M in the 2017-18 State Budget to install a roundabout at the intersection of Goulburn Valley Highway, Wanganui Road and Ford Road, as well as promising to finalise planning for Stage 1 of the Shepparton bypass.
“The installation of a roundabout was funded nearly five years ago yet the Government hasn’t even commenced work on the project,” Ms Lovell said.
Ms Lovell has been a constant advocate for both the bypass and the intersection upgrade, and she has called on the Minister for Roads and Safety Ben Carroll to provide a timeline on when the upgrade will be delivered.
“The Minister needs to immediately inform the Greater Shepparton community when he will deliver on the promise to upgrade the intersection.”
