Gembrook electorate
Mr BATTIN (Gembrook) (14:47): (6410) My question is to the minister for infrastructure. It is in relation to a sewer pipe that was put out the back of some houses on O’Shea Road in Berwick. The question I ask is for information on the consultation that took place with residents through that area. Mr Lawrenson, who is one of the people who lives down there, said if he was aware that there would be a 9-metre sewer tower installed within 6.5 metres of his property, he would not have purchased this property and built his dream home. People have gone on to say that Major Road Projects Victoria have been disrespectful and deceptive when they have contacted them in relation to concerns they have had about the consultation about it being located in that spot. However, one of the biggest issues that has been raised by the constituents down there is that one of the people that came out to the property said that they should construct their homes around what the design of the pipe is. However, the pipe went in after the houses were there, and now they are concerned about the health crisis that could eventuate with it. So we need information on what consultation took place.
The SPEAKER: Just before the member resumes his seat, the minister that the question was directed to—
Mr BATTIN: Major infrastructure. Transport infrastructure—sorry.
