Lake Tyers Beach access

Mr T BULL: The other issue I want to raise relates to the beach access steps at Lake Tyers. The local community there has been very active. These steps were washed away in a recent weather event, and now we are getting delay after delay after delay from Parks Victoria and the government in relation to rebuilding them. The latest we hear is that they are looking at a new site to build these steps, but the community is not being kept informed about these issues. We do not want this to be another one of these jobs where we hear nothing from a government department for months and months and months and there is no community consultation. We are building back a set of steps, for goodness sake. It should not be a massive project to be undertaken. At the very least the community should be educated on this. I ask the minister to please commit to community consultation with this community group and make sure this job is done in a timely manner.
