Lake Knox

Mr WAKELING: Lake Knox has been a significant issue in the Knox community, and on World Environment Day I spoke to many local residents who are very concerned with the Andrews government’s focus on bulldozing this important lake. The government has now taken the next step to achieve the demolition of this lake by lodging a formal application with Knox City Council. Local residents have until 26 June to lodge an objection to this application. I call on the government to withdraw this application and work with local residents to focus on saving the lake, not focus on destroying the lake. Residents are greatly concerned with the approach of this government, and if the government is going to persevere with demolishing the lake, I call on all residents to lodge an objection on this very, very important issue.
