Southern Metropolitan Region
Ms CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:58): (1760) My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, and it is in relation to Parks Victoria and their responsibility to maintain public amenities. I am getting increasingly concerned about the degree of graffiti that is around my electorate of Southern Metropolitan Region, but this relates to public amenities in Wattle Park. My office was contacted by Chris, who attended the Anzac Day commemoration on Sunday 24 April, just prior to Anzac Day, which was attended by many members of the local community in the area of Wattle Park, Burwood. Chris proceeded to go to the public toilet facilities and found that they were in a filthy state and had been for some time. It was very evident that they had not been cleaned, but a note said that they had been cleaned that morning. When Chris followed up with Parks Victoria he was told that contractors perform the work and that they could do nothing about it. The question to the minister is: who is monitoring the works of these contract cleaners so that the public can have public amenities in a fit state?
