South Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (12:19): (1667) My question is for the Minister for Fishing and Boating. Better Boating Victoria recently released their strategy to 2030 and the 2021–22 action plan. They identify that recreational boating and fishing are popular activities for Victorians, with one in 10 Victorians regularly participating in recreational boating. With the popularity of boating increasing there is a need for increased infrastructure, and the strategy action plan identifies planning for a safe harbour in Frankston as one of the priorities. The member for Frankston recently was quoted in an article by the Bayside News ruling out a proposed boating facility at Olivers Hill. My question for the minister is: if the Olivers Hill proposal is not going to proceed, what plans does the government have to increase boating access in the South Eastern Metropolitan Region?
