Warneet jetties
Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (19:09): (596) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Ports and Freight, and the action I seek is an update on our $9.5 million election commitment announced to rebuild both the north and south jetties in our beautiful coastal village of Warneet. Committed to at the 2022 election and funded in the May 2023 budget, advanced tender went out at the end of last year. My understanding is Parks Victoria is on track to release the tender documentation in April, with both the like-for-like and the Better Boating Victoria designs presented. Signs on so many houses in the area have gone from ‘Save the Warneet jetties’ to – post the election budget – ‘Saved the Warneet jetties’ to now ‘Build the Warneet jetties’. I really want to see the ‘d’ replaced by ‘t’ – built. It will no doubt be everyone walking around this town with a big, thick, black texta crossing out the ‘d’ and putting in a ‘t’.
This community is amazing. They love and care about where they live, and they so effortlessly energise together to bring about change for the better, never stopping until it is realised. Thank you, Minister, and we welcome you any time to Warneet in the electorate of Bass. There is a lot within your expansive portfolio that our Labor government has funded and are delivering, and I look forward to relaying your update to this wonderful community. Let us get this done.
