Question asked
- Can the Minister advise why a Fix My Street request (AC-00994201) lodged by a constituent on 15 November 2024, is still recorded on the system as “Unassigned”.
- What plans does your Government have to remediate older roads infrastructure to meet accessibility standards, given the report referred to in part (1) refers to the fact that a traffic island at the intersection of Castieu Street and Kingsford Smith Drive is not pedestrian or mobility device accessible.
- Is the Minister concerned that young children and people using mobility devices are placed at risk by this old and inappropriate infrastructure.
- Can the Minister advise the number of accidents and incidents at the intersection referred to in part (2), over the last 20 years, which may have been impacted by pedestrians or those using mobility devices struggling to cross this inappropriate facility.
- Given that people of the electorate have been calling for these old inappropriate traffic islands to be modernised, when will the Minister take appropriation action to protect the most vulnerable in our community.
