ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN: MLC
■ South-Eastern Metropolitan MLC AnnMarie Hermans says a proposed early childcare facility at Narre Warren North would be an “accident waiting to happen”. “My question is to the Minister for Planning. Locals and I want to meet and get advice regarding the proposed $2.9 million early childhood education facility for 110 children at 154 Drysdale Avenue, Narre Warren North, in the Highgrange estate,” Ms Hermans told the Legislative Council. “Residents fear Drysdale Avenue has minimal on-street parking, with an intersecting singlelane carriageway to the busy Belgrave-Hallam Rd. It is not safe for the additional traffic congestion the centre would attract. “Residents call it an accident waiting to happen. Drysdale Avenue has one-lane traffic each way and is the only entrance and exit point for the estate. Casey Council is reviewing the plans. No decision has been finalised. “Thirty-one objections have been submitted to the council so far. A development plan overlay, DPO, exists, so submitters will not have ppeal rights should the application be approved. “With excessive amounts of childcare centres in the area and an estimated 400 children aged zero to four years, will this government stop a tick-the-box exercise to support their locals?” Ms Hermans asked.

on the level crossing in GlenHuntly. “For commuters travelling from south-east Melbourne into the city and back again, this journey is complicated and must be nearly impossible for people who have mobility issues or other disabilities or those who might not speak English. In particular buses are parked a long distance from train stations at Brighton Beach and Caulfield. “My question for the minister is to investigate whether it is possible to make buses more accessible for commuters when buses replace trains on the Frankston line?” Mr Limbrick said in the Legislative Council.
