Nepean electorate
Mr BRAYNE (Nepean) (14:47): (6513) My constituency question is for the Minister for Environment and Climate Action. In the budget this year the Victorian government announced that the Point Nepean forts would be receiving a $6 million investment to repair the structures to keep this iconic site safe and accessible. Part of an overall package worth $16.5 million, these works will help preserve and restore the forts not only for our local community but for the over half a million people who visit this site annually. With several areas of the forts closed off to the public, I know that locals and visitors alike will be eagerly awaiting the beginning of construction on this iconic Mornington Peninsula landmark. My question to the minister for environment is: when will works begin on the forts and how will these works make this iconic site safe and more accessible for members of the public for years to come?
