Point Cook electorate
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (14:47): (245) The matter that I raise is for the Minister for Environment in the other place, and the action that I seek is for the minister to provide an update on the Point Cook Coastal Park. The Point Cook Coastal Park, for those who have not been there yet, is a much-loved park in the local community. It is situated on Port Phillip Bay, the coastal park, and it is a place where the community that I represent and beyond come to enjoy the beautiful natural settings of the environment. Having visited the park recently with my own family on a sunny winter’s day in Melbourne, I could see that the project is well underway, with the barbecues, the seating and the playgrounds under construction. The upgrade will be well utilised by the community. In fact it is already supported by the government in another way, which is through a $10,000 grant to the terrific volunteers at Coastcare, as part of that park. They are going to be planting over 1000 tube stocks there very soon. I look forward to hearing from the minister on this exciting project.
