Constituency questions

Polwarth electorate


Richard RIORDAN

Polwarth electorate

Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (15:02): (814) My question today is for the Minister for Environment, and my question is: when will the minister respond to requests presented by Mr Quentin Young of Allenvale near Lorne to meet with regard to the redefining of his property boundaries? Mr and Mrs Young are nearing retirement. Their property in Lorne in 2017 had its boundaries changed, unbeknownst to them, excluding their family home and another property from titles; they no longer have title over their properties. Those boundaries had been in place for well over a hundred years, and this has left great uncertainty for both their retirement and their mental health and wellbeing. The minister’s department has been written to and I have written to the minister on behalf of Mr and Mrs Young. They have been unable to secure a meeting or any correspondence back from your office. When will you be able to respond to that correspondence and arrange a meeting?
