Constituency questions

Polwarth electorate


Polwarth electorate

Mr RIORDAN (Polwarth) (14:50): (6490) My question today is to the Minister for Environment and Climate Action. The question I have for the minister is: could she please inform me, so I can let the people of Apollo Bay, Skenes Creek, Cape Otway and the Otways generally know, when the Skenes Creek caravan park and the Cape Otway lighthouse will be open again to tourism and accommodation and operating as the important, viable tourist drivers that they are in this region. Summer is not far away. It will be happening after the election, of course—the busy peak tourist season. The Skenes Creek caravan park has now been shut for a couple of years. It is coming up to its third year closed. The Cape Otway lighthouse is closed, with no definite date given for when it will reopen. We look to the minister for some direction so these communities can plan for their futures.
