Southern Metropolitan Region
David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:54): (91) I have a constituency question here. It is for the attention of the Minister for Environment, and it concerns Albert Park Lake and surrounds in Albert Park. I have had a number of constituents, including Bob Adams, come to me to explain the poor state of parts of Albert Park. This is for the attention of Parks Victoria too but ultimately for the Minister for Environment. They point to, through many pictures, plastic bottles, balls, other materials, concrete slabs all over the place, dead trees in various places that have been left in a very untidy way and a number of seats and other fixtures in the park that have been allowed to fall into disrepair. What I am asking the minister is: will you give an account to the community and the house of your poor stewardship, and in particular what steps will you take to rehabilitate these parts of Albert Park that need attention urgently?
