Northern Metropolitan Region
Samantha RATNAM (Northern Metropolitan) (13:02): (1007) My constituency question is for the Minister for Environment. I wish to ask again: when will the feasibility study for the wallan wallan regional park be released? Some of you may remember I asked this question nearly a year ago. You told us the report was finished, but you still have not shared it with the people who care about the precious Merri Creek, which flows through my electorate. The park was promised during your 2018 election campaign. It is important to the growing Wallan community and the health of the Merri. It will support flood mitigation and should be central to land-use planning and urban development in the region. Community groups support this park, including Wallan Environment Group, Merri Creek Management Committee and Friends of Merri Creek. Some sought to speak to you about this and raise their concerns with the department, but you still have not released the feasibility study. Minister, when will you release the wallan wallan regional park feasibility study?
