QuestionView source ↗
(1) Has the State Government actually committed any funds to the proposed Augusta marina, or has it merely raised the concept with the local shire and community? (2) As the current consultative process is most likely to indicate strong support for a marina to be located at Flat Rock rather than the “preferred” option of Flinders Bay, will the Government accept this verdict and urgently proceed with the project? (3) If funds have been committed, how much is available and when will construction begin? Hon KEN TRAVERS
