Sandringham electorate
Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (14:59): (464) My constituency question is for the Minister for Ports and Freight. I am pleased that after five years of advocacy in this place on behalf of my local community, work has finally commenced on replacing Hampton Pier. On the back of 4000 local signatures it is a win for local residents to replace, finally, this very important piece of community infrastructure. This will of course ensure a safer environment for water activities during the fast-approaching summer months. The minister’s announcement earlier this month provides no certainty on a time line for when designs, planning and procurement are to be completed throughout the time ahead, and I therefore ask the minister: when will a project time line be provided to the community with deadlines for designs, contracts and the completion of the new Hampton Pier?
