# Road maintenance: motions

Voting yes supported a motion noting concerns about Victorian road conditions and maintenance, and calling on the government to ensure the latest road repairs are of high quality. The motion was defeated.

Defeated **17** yes **17** no 

The question put

That this house notes that: (1) under the Allan Labor government Victoria has some of the worst road conditions in the country; (2) failure to repair roads in a timely manner has caused Victoria’s road network to crumble; (3) the Allan Labor government announced an investment of $964 million to repair Victorian roads in the 2024–25 state budget; (4) 70 per cent of this investment, being $675 million, will be specifically spent on repairing roads in regional Victoria; (5) there is anecdotal evidence that previous work to repair Victorian roads has been substandard, with many roads needing new repairs after only a short period of time; and calls on the government to ensure that repairs undertaken during this latest road repair blitz are of the highest quality and standard to ensure that delivering Victorians world-standard road infrastructure.
