MONA VALE ROAD UPGRADE
Reverend the Hon. Dr GORDON MOYES: I ask my first question in my new role as the Leader of the Country Christian Democratic Party. My question is directed to the Minister for Finance, representing the Minister for Roads. Is the Minister aware of the number of road safety upgrades currently being undertaken in the Pittwater area? Specifically will the Minister inform the House when the dual carriageway upgrade of Mona Vale Road between McCarrs Creek Road at Terrey Hills and Foley Street, Mona Vale, will be completed? Will the Minister also advise when the promised passing lane, driving west up the steep incline out of Mona Vale, will be provided with a truck arrestor to improve this most dangerous corner?
The Hon. MICHAEL COSTA: Quite clearly this question is for the Minister for Roads but I heard an interjection that it is not a country question. I look forward to the day that is not too far away when the Country Christian Democratic Party has more members than The Nationals.

The Hon. JOSEPH TRIPODI: I am advised that the RTA is undertaking various road upgrades in the Pittwater area. I understand that a preliminary concept design for an upgrade of Mona Vale Road between Manor Road Ingleside and Foley Street Mona Vale has been completed. A decision is yet to be made on its construction.
