 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 599 signatures:

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the impact of coastal erosion on Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club, Surf Beach, dunes and public and private assets. The Inverloch community is deeply concerned that its much-loved emergency service facility and club is at immediate risk of being washed away.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to urgently undertake immediate works to address the accelerated coastal erosion at Surf Beach by constructing a sea wall to protect Surf Beach and save the Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club, surrounding housing and infrastructure.

Melina BATH: I move:

That the petition be taken into consideration on the next day of meeting.

Motion agreed to.
