Gippsland East electorate
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (14:55): (122) My question is to the Minister for Environment in the other place, and the information I seek is when the Nyerimilang boardwalk, which fell into disrepair last December, will be fixed. Nyerimilang park is a beautiful little area between Lakes Entrance and Metung on the Gippsland Lakes. In December a really popular boardwalk which leads to one of the more popular lookouts fell into disrepair. It was reported by the volunteers at the park who are seeking that it be fixed. The tape was very quick to go up to block off this boardwalk and the access to the lookout, but they have not been so quick in getting there to fix it. Parks Victoria do not have a great record in fixing stuff in my electorate. There is a lot of bushfire infrastructure that is still not repaired two years later. I do not blame the parkies on the ground – this is the bureaucracy higher up – but I ask the minister to please provide a date when this will be fixed.
