‘Department of Transport (formerly VicRoads) have investigated staged and interim (sub ultimate i.e. less than three lane each way) options for the upgrade of Mickleham Road and have developed these staged options into proposals including functional designs. These staged proposals will be considered for funding in future road programs in the Statewide context with due regard to other State Government priorities.’

She has put in a submission to government for the establishment of a crisis centre.
Cr Hewiel has had a letter sent to planning minister asking if he believes Mickleham Rd is adequet considering the rapid additional residential development that has taken place in the area.
