Ovens Valley electorate
Mr McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (14:42): (6508) My question is to the Minister for Environment and Climate Action on behalf of Lesley Smith of 3 Swanston Street in Wilby. Lesley was approached by a company who install Victorian-backed, energy-efficient hot-water services. The company is called Sailax Group, who fit the free hot-water services. After an inspection by the business back in June they told Ms Smith that in order for them to fit the hot-water service at the house she would need to pull up some of her decking to fit the hot-water service in. Ms Smith has had the deck ripped up to cater for the hot-water service, but the company has not returned to fit the hot-water service. Most frustratingly they have ripped up the deck, it still cannot be used and there is still no hot-water service. The process began in June, and we are now basically in September. I request the minister to engage with the company to establish if or when the hot-water system will be fitted or if Ms Smith should have her deck put back together again.
