Constituency Question - Hampton Street Resurfacing

CONSTITUENCY QUESTION

‘HAMPTON STREET RESURFACING’.

Tuesday, 2 June 2026.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (15:28):

My question is to the Premier. Why did the State Labor Government break their written promise committing to resurface unsafe Hampton Street in Hampton?

Bayside knows that Labor neglects our community. As Anthony said:

The road has deteriorated to the point where it is genuinely unsafe. The number and size of the potholes are forcing drivers to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid damage, creating a serious risk of an accident.

In December then Roads Minister Horne gave a written commitment that:

Hampton Street from South Road to Beach Road is planned for resurfacing in April 2026.

But as we know, the Labor Government’s written commitment is worth nothing.

When the Government trucks turned up, they only resurfaced a fraction of the road between Beach Road and Ludstone Street. The entire stretch between Ludstone Street and South Road was ignored.

The truth is that the completed stretch is in the neighbouring electorate and the ignored part is in the Brighton electorate.

What a shameless political attack on my community.
