Ferntree Gully electorate
Mr WAKELING (Ferntree Gully) (14:47): (6514) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. The Knox community is greatly concerned about the constant actions of this government in destroying Lake Knox. The community are gravely concerned about recent activities which have seen works undertaken on the site without any community consultation. These works that are being undertaken are potentially impacting on the breeding season for the blue-billed duck. There are concerns about the spillover of the outflow of water into Blind Creek. The government has also apparently instructed construction staff to not talk to residents about the works that are being undertaken on this site. This is gravely concerning. My community is deeply opposed to the actions that this government is taking without any consultation. So my question is: why is the Andrews government undertaking these concerning works at Lake Knox without any consultation with the affected Knox community?
