Mr ROWSWELL: For 16 months now I have been lobbying Labor to do the right thing by Hampton residents and immediately reopen the Hampton Pier. In May this year I warned that the government should indeed get ready for a whole new wave of ‘pier pressure’. Well, the next wave of pressure has arrived. An additional 138 locals have joined the community campaign and signed my petition in addition to those many thousands who have previously signed it. This 150-year-old historical and locally important symbol of Bayside must be restored and reopened immediately.
