My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Three years ago the Allan Labor government removed the dangerous and congested level crossing at Fitzgerald Road in Sunshine West and Ardeer, saving locals time on their commutes and making our road network safer. But locals will know the struggle to complete the finishing touches and turn the lights on has, to put it bluntly, been like something out of the TV show Utopia. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, which has held up the lights coming on line to service the Ardeer community at the overpass. For folks in Sunshine and Ardeer who have raised this for me for way too many years now, I have listened. We have heard you. We know it has taken too long to turn the lights on. It has been frustrating, and I have spent way too many hours with the Level Crossing Removal Project team and Powercor to get this sorted. So my question to the minister is this: when will the Ardeer community see the finishing touches at the Fitzgerald Road level crossing removal finally be completed?
