North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:58): My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and it relates to Bungalook Creek, which runs through my region. Major level crossing removal and train station upgrade works have been undertaken around Bungalook Creek for many years, and I understand they are now completed. This area is part of the proposed eastern suburbs creek parkland, which is a remarkable multi-creek setting which connects adjoining green wedges, wetlands, flood plains, flora and fauna corridors, remnant native vegetation and a history of Aboriginal cultural heritage. For this project to be undertaken it is vital that the health of Bungalook Creek is protected and the area is restored to its natural health. Can you please assure the community that full environmental rehabilitation will be undertaken to remedy the environmental damage caused by these major projects?
