Southern Metropolitan Region

Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:35): (351) My constituency question is in relation to the Shrine to Sea bike path. This was a thought bubble by the former member for Albert Park Mr Foley, who went to the 2018 election with a half-page press release and committed $13 million to this thought bubble.

David Davis: He’s got a good job.

Georgie CROZIER: Oh, he has – another one, Mr Davis. The idea was provided to VicRoads. They handballed it to Parks Victoria. They did not know what to do with it. Now it has ended up in the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. There has been little consultation on this thought bubble – the Shrine to Sea bike path. There has been no business case and no plan, and the community quite rightly have been outraged about what has gone on in relation to the entire process. What I have been asked by a constituent this morning via a phone call is: how much has actually been allocated and already spent of that $13 million?
