Constituency questions
Gippsland East electorate
Gippsland East electorate
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (14:42): (1242) My question today is to the Minister for Environment, and the information I seek is that the detail related to the cancellation of the promised Marlo-to-Conran bike path be released. In the wake of the Black Summer fires of 2019–20 there were commitments made to that area – $13.5 million was committed to a shared pathway between Marlo and Cape Conran and also to potable water supply. What has happened in that time is we have recently had made a very casual announcement that that shared bike path is not going ahead. The community thought that money was signed, sealed and delivered and this project was ready to go. Amongst the information we want to know is why has it been cancelled, and we also want to know where the $13.5 million has gone. I ask for that general information to be released.
