Murradoc Road to undergo $5 million upgrade

MURRADOC Road – which is the main route between Drysdale and St Leonards – will receive a $5 million upgrade thanks to the Liberal National Government.

Corangamite Liberal federal member Sarah Henderson visited St Leonards last week to make the funding announcement, which comes from the Roads to Recovery program.

“Murradoc Road is in very poor condition,” Ms Henderson said.

“I have spoken with many local residents in Drysdale and St Leonards who have raised this as a very big concern.”

Locals have welcomed the funding announcement, as they continue to lobby the City of Greater Geelong for help to “make their town look cared for”.

Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population, Alan Tudge said funding for the project was in the dederal budget.

“We are committed to delivering the projects Victoria needs to preserve its enviable quality of life,” Mr Tudge said.
