Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (14:54): (1019) My question is for the Minister for Environment. Regarding William Ricketts Sanctuary in Mount Dandenong, what is the timeframe for restoration works to enable the sanctuary to be reopened to the public? A number of constituents have inquired about the recovery and reopening of this beloved sculpture park in the Dandenong Ranges. Sadly, the June 2021 storm event saw mountain ash destroy a vast number of sculptures, pathways, bridges and buildings, and the scale of the damage is extensive. I understand that recovery works by Parks Victoria are underway to make the sanctuary safe to reopen and would greatly appreciate the timeframe for its reopening, which will be eagerly anticipated.

The SPEAKER: Order! I have to rule out the member for Laverton’s constituency question, and I will review the member for Croydon’s constituency question.

Martin Cameron: On a point of order, Speaker, I have three questions still awaiting responses. Could I get you to follow up question 1331 for the Minister for Mental Health, question 1912 for the Minister for Emergency Services and question 1913 for the Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs.
