By investing in world-class infrastructure the Morrison government's economic recovery plan for Australia is delivering for Chisholm. Firstly, we are committing $1.75 billion to build the North East link. This will get traffic off our local streets, helping Chisholm locals to get to work and back to their families safer and faster, and supporting thousands of jobs when we need them most as we come out of the pandemic. Secondly, we are investing millions in improving the safety of Chisholm's roads as part of the road upgrades that will result in an estimated 35 per cent reduction in fatal and serious injuries nationwide. We are also fixing the notorious Kingsway and Railway Parade North black spot in Glen Waverley and supporting local councils to deliver priority projects right across Chisholm. Infrastructure projects create more jobs, create our economy and connect people to their work, homes and loved ones. Thanks to our budget we will see all of these benefits continue to flow through to Chisholm locals and businesses for many years to come.
