Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (13:41): I rise today to again highlight the frustration of my local Polwarth community about the outrageous admissions in the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee hearings recently, when the Minister for Environment made it clear that the income from the new $130 million visitor centre at the Twelve Apostles will in fact be used to help bankroll the operations and maintenance of the Great Ocean Road and its facilities. The community was led to believe that if the visitor centre was going to charge admission fees and tax visitors to the region, that would be new funds that could be spent in the community to enhance existing services and add new attractions to the region to help grow tourism across the south-west and along the Great Ocean Road. But we have since found out that the current government’s model, the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority, is running at a loss. It ran at a $6.1 million loss last year, it is running at a loss again this year, and the money from the visitor centre is going to be used by this government to top up the shortfalls of an organisation that has not been set up to succeed by this government. Further to that, I was able to bring to the Parliament this week a petition of some 538 people in the Lorne community who were disappointed that the demolition of the old fisherman co-op has occurred. It has now occurred, and it is important that the government builds, in its replacement, a structure and provides a service that the community can be proud of.
