Constituency questions

Southern Metropolitan Region


Southern Metropolitan Region

Mr HAYES (Southern Metropolitan) (12:41): (1981) My constituency question is to the Minister for Energy and Minister for Environment and Climate Action. Three councils in my electorate, Bayside, Port Phillip and Kingston councils, form part of a larger collaboration of 70 councils and other authorities making up the Victorian Greenhouse Alliances group. They are working together to find solutions to address climate change. They have told me that despite their alliance having over 22 years experience collating information on climate change, including solar savings and future energy planning, as well as being engaged with a wide range of stakeholders, their request to meet the minister has been declined. My question is: will the minister agree to meet with the Victorian Greenhouse Alliances to utilise their wealth of knowledge on climate change?
