South Eastern Metropolitan Region
Mr RICH-PHILLIPS (South Eastern Metropolitan) (12:44): (1963) My constituency question is for the Minister for Environment and Climate Action, and it relates to dredging of the Mordialloc Creek. This matter has been raised with me by Phil Pease, the Liberal candidate for Mordialloc, who has been working closely with the Mordialloc Creek community in an effort to get the Mordialloc Creek dredged up to the boat ramp. This is work which has not been undertaken since the last Liberal government in 2014. While there are some dredging activities in the mouth of the Mordialloc Creek, they do not extend upstream to the boat ramp and therefore do not facilitate making it easier for recreational boaters to access the creek. So my question to the minister is: when will the government dredge the Mordialloc Creek upstream to the boat ramp?
