Nepean electorate
Mr BRAYNE (Nepean) (14:50): (6275) My constituency question is for the Minister for Fishing and Boating. Heritage Victoria recently recommended to the Heritage Council of Victoria that the Flinders Pier be included in the Victorian Heritage Register. The Flinders Pier is so important to the Mornington Peninsula community, and many locals have been campaigning to save the pier from being removed. I would like to acknowledge the work of the Save Flinders Pier campaign and the Flinders Community Association. Both of these groups have been working hard to build public support for the pier’s restoration while raising awareness of the pier’s historical significance. Community consultation is now open for locals to tell the heritage council why the Flinders Pier is so important and for the community to relay historical stories and information that relate to the pier. So my question to the minister is: how will this feedback help inform the council’s decision on whether to include the pier in the Victorian Heritage Register?
