Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (15:59): I visited Jack Hoare of Yarroweyah last week, who has had a tree that belongs to Regional Roads Victoria fall over his fence. Jack is an older member of the community, and he has been refused support from Regional Roads Victoria to have the tree removed. Jack cannot put stock in his paddock, as the fence is damaged, and he is not able to remove or repair the fence. It is disappointing that Regional Roads Victoria do not take responsibility for their roadside vegetation when it causes damage to private property. I am sure if one of Jack’s trees were to fall on the Goulburn Valley Highway he would be handed the bill for a clean-up very quickly. I will seek further support from the Minister for Roads and Road Safety.
