      Note: Questions are reproduced as prepared by the Questioner and no guarantee is given that
      any subject matter or statement contained in the question is factually correct.

      At 4.05 pm Question Time concluded.

      Question 1 - Traffic Lights Crn GolfLinks Rd, Cranbourne- Narre Warren Road – submitted by
      Rex Flannery

      I would like to ask Council if they would consider contacting Vic Road for the installation of traffic
      lights at the Crn of Golf Links Rd, Cranbourne-Narre Warren Road due to the traffic congestion for
      vehicles trying to cross Cranbourne-Narre Warren Rd, turning right.

      Answer was prepared by the Senior Traffic Engineer and Manager City and Asset Planning
      and read by the Chairperson of Administrators.

 Council Meeting - 18 May 2021                                                                         Page 4
Public Question Time continued

            Council is aware of community concerns with congestion and safety at the intersection of
            Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Golf Links Road and we have advocated in recent
            years to the Department of Transport seeking an upgrade to this arterial road intersection.

            Previous feedback from DoT noted that the installation of traffic signals at this intersection is
            unlikely to be funded under current road safety programs, however DoT confirmed that the
            site will continue to be assessed and evaluated for funding under future programs.

            Notwithstanding the previous response from DoT, this intersection is one of ten arterial road
            locations in Council’s ongoing Commit to Casey campaign advocating to State Government
            and their relevant authorities for the upgrade of arterial road intersections.
