Kelletts Road, Rowville: duplication
Mr WAKELING (Ferntree Gully) – The Rowville and Lysterfield communities can be rightly upset at the appalling manner in which the Minister for Roads and Ports has handled the current duplication of Kelletts Road in Rowville. At the intersection of Napoleon Road, the government allowed for the height of Napoleon Road to be increased by nearly 5 metres behind the houses of many Rowville and Lysterfield residents without any consultation with affected residents or the Knox council. After significant community opposition, the government was forced to back down and reduce the height of the road to 2.2 metres. Despite the release of glossy brochures and much-heralded press releases, the government has now changed the height to 2.6 metres without any discussion with or explanation to affected residents.
The handling of this project by the Brumby government has been appalling, and residents have lost complete faith in this government's ability to adequately consult with the community to ensure that the road project does not significantly impact on the ongoing amenity of Knox residents.
