Greens question Minister over B-Double truck ban on West Gate Bridge

2016-10-25

Constituency question:

My question is for Minister Pulford in her capacity of representing Minister Donnellan on issues related to roads and road safety. The announcement of the ban on larger B-Doubles using the West Gate Bridge effective 1 November will make an intolerable situation much worse for residents of the neighbourhoods of the inner west. Twenty one thousand trucks move through this area a day as it is.

Can the minister share the the community evidence that was used to support this decision?

Can the minister also explain when the decision was made to ban B-Doubles from the West Gate Bridge?
