 Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (14:40): (1610) My constituency question is to the Minister for Ambulance Services, and the information I seek on behalf of my constituents is: when will work commence on the Mallacoota ambulance station? A planning permit for the new station was submitted by Ambulance Victoria to the shire council in August 2023. Foursight Architects produced quite extensive planning. It was then challenged in VCAT, so the permit was delayed. It got the all-clear from VCAT in July 2025, but it will expire if the station is not commenced within that the right timeframe. Surely the funds were allocated at that time. We have seen nothing in the last nine months, and the community are quite concerned that the funds may have been reallocated. So I am asking: when will the work on the Mallacoota ambulance station actually commence?
