Western Metropolitan Region

Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:40): (608) My question today is for the Minister for Environment. It was brought to my attention that the barbecue shelter in Brimbank Park, managed by Parks Victoria, has been fenced off for over a year. This is a major tourist attraction and is widely used and visited by Victorians. Can the minister please provide some information as to how and when it is going to be fixed and open for people to use? In Australia we love a good barbecue, and in the west we love to go down to the park on a sunny day with our family and friends and use the barbecue. Unfortunately my constituents cannot use the barbecue in Brimbank Park right now as it has been fenced off for a whole year. The barbecue shelter is an eyesore. How long does it take to fix a barbecue shelter? It is not like the rail line to the airport. I know the government is in debt, but I am confident that Parks Victoria can get this done if the government stops neglecting the west and putting it on the back burner. Summer is almost here. People want to get out and enjoy the beautiful park. Minister, fix the Brimbank Park barbecue in time for summer, please.
