Western Victoria Region

 Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (12:57): (2031) My question is to the Minister for Environment. Minister, what oversight is your department exercising over the management of the Bellarine Bayside holiday park at Portarlington, given serious concerns raised by long-term permit holders about unfair contract terms, health and safety risks and misleading conduct? Residents report being forced to use a non-accredited valuer appointed by park management before they can sell their caravans, despite no such requirement in their permit contracts. They also cite closed amenities, unsafe trees and inadequate complaint mechanisms, all in a government-managed park on Crown land. Will the minister investigate these claims and ensure that Bellarine Bayside’s management complies with government guidelines and their trading laws?

The PRESIDENT: I just want to acknowledge former member of this chamber Samantha Ratnam is in the gallery.
