Constituency questions

Sandringham electorate


Sandringham electorate

Mr ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (14:47): (6184) I am going to sound like a broken record with this one, because I have given this issue a crack more than two dozen times. My constituency question is addressed to the Minister for Fishing and Boating, and I ask: when will the Andrews Labor government commit to repairing and reopening the Hampton Pier? After two years there are no details about when it will be repaired and reopened. It is just sitting there, neglected and fenced off. There is no date, no plan and no funding to fix it. By contrast, on 15 January the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, the member for Brighton and I announced our commitment to rebuild and reopen Hampton Pier. It seems that this will be the only way to reopen the pier that means just so much to my community. After two years of sidelining this important issue for my community, we frankly deserve the respect of an answer to this very simple question by the Andrews Labor government.
