Better Local Roads for Monbulk

A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $5 million in better local roads across the Dandenong Ranges.

As more visitors come to enjoy the Dandenong Ranges and natural disasters affect our community, it’s important that our road network keeps up.

We know that in fires and storms a single fallen tree can cut off access to a main road.

That’s why Labor will partner with local councils to co-fund the sealing of local connector roads, creating safer alternative routes for locals and visitors.

This means safer trips for locals and tourists, who won’t need to risk dangerous unsealed roads.

Labor knows that in the hills, every route counts – and in an emergency, a safe road out can make all the difference.

That’s why Labor is backing safer roads for the Dandenong Ranges.

But a Liberal-One Nation Coalition Government and their $40 billion worth of cuts would put this at risk.
