The funding is the result of lengthy consultation with the community and the Shire of Kalamunda.

Mr Waddell called on the Liberal State Minister, Troy Buswell to also commit to the much-needed upgrades.

“This has been a major issue in the electorate, the intersection is dangerous and it is pushing heavy transport onto our suburban roads. This is a genuine funding commitment and I’m delighted to be able to announce yet another instance of Labor making the eastern suburbs a priority,” he said.

“The community needs it and I’m proud to say that we will deliver it.”

Mr Waddell also called on the Liberals to match Labor’s $14 million commitment in their Budget next month.

“Funding like the upgrade of Berkshire Road shouldn’t be about politics but about priority,” he said.

“Rather than simply focusing on the western suburbs, Colin Barnett and Troy Buswell should make sure that our community gets the money where it is needed, Forrestfield is rapidly growing and needs investment today”

It is a myth that the government perpetrates that electricity prices had to rise to this level, the government has chosen to take this decision and it has done it with full knowledge of the pain it creates.

Mr Buswell needs to stop ignoring the eastern corridor and recognise that a lot of Perth’s industry is growing here.
