Constituency questions
Polwarth electorate
Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (14:49): (1080) My question this afternoon is to the Treasurer in the other place, and my question is: Treasurer, can you tell my community of Apollo Bay whether they will at last this year receive much-needed funding for the upgrade of the Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club on the beautiful Apollo Bay foreshore. The Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club provides a fantastic service to the people of Apollo Bay, to the surrounding community and most importantly to the many, many visitors and tourists that come our way over the various summer seasons. The Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club has submitted to the government now for many years a comprehensive plan for redevelopment on its beautiful foreshore but involving many other community agencies and groups such as the local Apollo Bay P–12 College. The reason this is important for the community is because a redeveloped Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club will keep the community safe and help attract visitors to Apollo Bay.
