The budget provides additional funding to build better roads in Moore, adding to the federal government's record levels of funding in my electorate, which saw more than $210 million of federal funding last year. Under the Roads to Recovery Program, the City of Joondalup will receive $2,269,117 to assist in maintaining and upgrading local roads, whilst the City of Wanneroo has been allocated $2,712,056. In addition, under the Black Spot Program, the City of Joondalup will receive $390,000 to upgrade the accident-prone roundabout at the intersection of Hepburn Avenue and Glengarry Drive in Duncraig. Road construction activity in Moore is progressing on an unprecedented scale with the extension of the Mitchell Freeway and associated construction of Neerabup Road, and widening of Hester Avenue progressing ahead of schedule. Additionally, there is the widening of Wanneroo Road, Connolly Drive, Whitfords Avenue and Ocean Reef Road. These projects are also co-funded by the WA state government, and I acknowledge the contribution of my local colleagues in Hon. Albert Jacob MLA, Jan Norberger MLA, and the Hon. Peter Katsambanis MLC. These projects will pave the way for key economic development projects to progress, such as the Neerabup Industrial Area, the future Ocean Reef Marina redevelopment, and facilitate north-south and east-west traffic.
