I'm pleased to announce that the City of Joondalup, in my electorate of Moore, will receive federal funding of $1,000,068 in the latest round of the Roads to Recovery Program. Local roads, such as Clontarf Street in Sorrento, Montebello Avenue in Heathridge, Laurel Street in Mullaloo, Spinnaker Drive in Ocean Reef, Grand Boulevard in Joondalup, Fairway Circle in Connolly and Quarry Ramble in Edgewater will be resurfaced; have kerbing and drainage improved; have access ramps installed; and traffic control measures implemented.

Maintaining local roads and improving road safety in our neighbourhood streets is an important priority. I thank residents who have responded to my community surveys and nominated these local roads as requiring attention. I'm pleased to work proactively with Joondalup mayor, Albert Jacob, to regularly review the city's capital works program to identify federal funding requirements for priority local projects. I was pleased to receive notification from the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development earlier this week that the funding was approved. Ratepayers in the City of Joondalup will be the beneficiaries of this federal Roads to Recovery subsidy, which helps reduce the pressure on household rates.
