Bass electorate
Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (14:52): (1179) My constituency question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources and relates to the proposed Lang Lang strategic extractive resource area. What is the latest update being made on finalising the SERA, including how community feedback is being taken into consideration, particularly in relation to the area on the Western Port side of the highway? Cardinia and Bass Coast councils, Lang Lang caravan park, local organisations including the Western Port Biosphere foundation and Save Western Port Woodlands group, residents and locals in the area have concerns, which I share, about the western portion of the proposed SERA in the Jam Jerrup area by the coast. Cardinia’s green wedge management plan has this area as a designated coastal precinct for its environmental values, cultural heritage and proximity to Ramsar wetlands. This sat with feedback from the community about truck movements, noise, dust and road safety, and I look forward to updating my community on the SERA progress.
