Funding for black spots
The Federal Government will fund roadworks at two "black spots" in Empire Bay Dr, according to the Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill.
The intersection of Empire Bay Dr and Wards Hill Rd at Empire Bay has been allocated $56,000 to install a concrete median island in Wards Hill Rd, upgrade signage and reduce speed limit, she said.
The intersection of Empire Bay Dr and Greenfield Rd has also been allocated $50,000 to install a median island in Greenfield Rd with additional signage.
Ms O'Neill said, since being elected in 2007, the Federal Labor Government had allocated more than $1.6 million to fix 11 black spots across the Robertson electorate.
"This investment is helping to make our local roads even safer for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, with four of these projects already completed," said Ms O'Neill.
"And the good thing about our Black Spot program is that anyone can suggest an intersection or section of road they believe should be considered for a safety upgrade."
