This week on VLGA Connect Chris Eddy speaks with the Rural City of Wangaratta Mayor, Cr Irene Grant, about council's push to improve the condition of rural and regional roads. Cr Grant shares what the latest safety data is telling us, which roads are of most concern to local residents and what funding commitments regional councils need now. 

We also catch up with the Acting CEO of Infrastructure Victoria, Jill Riseley AM ahead of the Victorian state election. She unpacks Infrastructure Victoria's strategy and highlights what candidates should commit to when it comes to climate resilience, public transport in growth areas and securing better value from the assets we already have.
