Beaconsfield Reservoir
Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (10:36): Last week I was delighted to join Shadow Minister for Water Tim McCurdy to speak with the Save the Beaconsfield Reservoir Group. This group is passionate about protecting a local resource which is now destined to be demolished due to a controversial decision by Melbourne Water. Not only is this reservoir absolutely stunning, it is also a home for ecological and biological diversity which has remained for 105 years, a much-needed water resource for firefighting and a magnificent scenic body of water that is unique to the area. Locals deserve to be listened to, and this is a wonderful asset that should be protected, so keep up the great work.
