Bairnsdale Secondary College pedestrian safety
Mr T BULL (Gippsland East) (13:15): Deputy Speaker, congratulations on your elevation to your high office.
Bairnsdale Secondary College has for several years been lobbying for a school crossing on McKean Street. In 2019 there were traffic surveys undertaken that I believe met the measures that have been set to qualify for a school crossing. School numbers have increased since then. Earlier this year we had a student struck by a vehicle in the vicinity of where that school crossing should go. There is an application that has been pending for a little while with the TAC through the local government grants program. I urge the minister to pursue this and ensure that it is approved—this is critical for the safety of the students at that school—and also to ensure that funding is provided for a school crossing supervisor, because the crossing without a supervisor will not have the required impact.
