Nathan LAMBERT (Preston) (14:38): (1685) My question is for the Minister for Water, and my question is: what is the Victorian government’s policy position on putting bike paths and vegetation on land that has water pipes underneath it? I ask this question because we announced last year that we were going to plant an additional thousand trees across Preston and Reservoir, including along parts of the Northern Pipe Trail, and we remain very committed to that project. But we have run into the challenge that there are some authorities and some decision-makers who seem to think you cannot plant trees or put bike paths anywhere near any underground asset. We appreciate that it is important to protect those assets, and there are real maintenance costs involved. But at the same time we note that there are bike paths and trees on top of underground assets right across this city, including elsewhere on the Northern Pipe Trail, and we believe that the Essential Services Commission and other authorities should treat this as a normal cost of doing business and not use it as an excuse or a reason to stop urban greening projects or stop active transport projects. Any advice or information that the minister can provide to us on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
