Cars will not pay a toll, member for Burt, to use Roe 8 and Roe 9. There are many more benefits. An independent property report shows that there will be increased property prices as a result of the construction of Roe 8 and Roe 9. Roe 8 and Roe 9 will take 7,000 trucks and 74,000 light vehicles off local roads each day—off Leach Highway, Farrington Road, South Street, Stock Road, North Lake Road, Beeliar Drive and other local roads. Importantly for someone who has discovered the joy of cycling in the last few months, there will also be investment in creating better access for cyclists around the Beeliar Regional Park. I am looking forward to that. I was thinking quite a lot about that when I went for a bike ride only last week to inspect the progress of the construction work.
