Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) (11:51): My constituency question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. The Bell Residents Group has produced a rather annoying—you may have heard it, President—earworm video to the tune of Go West. It is an appeal from residents around the Bell Street station, currently under construction, and they would like to see the location of the entrance to the new car park go to the west. The current plan, which residents believe is poor, has the car park entrance on the east side. My constituents claim in song that moving the car park entrance to the west will provide drivers with easier access from Bell Street and would also be a better decision for cyclists and pedestrians, providing much safer walking routes from the precinct. My question to the minister is: will the government consider going west with the car park entrance to the new Bell station to keep the local area safer for children and reduce noise for residents?
