My constituency question is for the Minister for Fishing and Boating, and I ask: how much funding will be provided for the repair and ongoing maintenance of the Hampton Pier in this financial year?
Across three separate parliamentary contributions, multiple articles of correspondence to three government ministers, including Parks Victoria as well, and 4112 petition signatures tabled in this place also, I have sought a simple answer to a simple question on behalf of the many boaters, fishers, swimmers and community organisations reliant on this pier: when will it be fixed?
The establishment of the Better Boating Fund was meant to be the solution to our community’s problem, but in the minister’s letter to my office dated 14 January the minister offered no undertaking to fix the pier, let alone provide the required funding.
The wave of community outcry continues to grow, and that is why we just simply want our pier fixed.
