Mrs Irwin

Thank you for your letter dated 4 December 2008 about the petition by the residents of Greenway to the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives concerning the intersection of Old Pitt Town Road and Boundary Road and their request for the Australian Government to commit funding for the upgrade of the road.

The intersection of Old Pitt Road and Boundary Road, Oakville has been nominated by the Baulkham Hill Shire and Hawkesbury City Council as part of the 2009-10 NSW Black Spot Program. The NSW Black Spot Consultative Panel met on

8 December 2008 to consider nominations for 2009-10. Projects recommended by the Panel will shortly be submitted for my consideration and approval. I will take the petitioners support for this proposal into account when considering the projects put forward by the NSW Consultative Panel.

Thank you for raising this matter.

from the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Mr Albanese, to a petition presented on 1 December 2008 by Mrs Irwin (from 1,607 citizens)
