Todays question before the state election? What are Janice and Jenny doing local? Except towing the labor line. Will they stand up and say something for the local area for once, will they make a Brumby Government do something for the local area, yes schools and roads. Thats general and across the line, when will they come out of their shells? Will they ask Brumby about the Mordialloc Creek? An un finished project. A jewel for the local area. A draw card for people from near and far. Its not just people that boat and fish that use this jewel. Kids can explore the environment, people love to walk along it, sporting clubs play along it and in this day and age of little space it gives freedom to escape. Yet, the people doing yoga and exercise groups don't count. What value do we put on this open space which is in such short supply in the modern day?
It used to be full of birds and fish and even the odd shark was known to be caught in its waters. Yet, today it is in a state of disrepair. Boats find it hard to use, both moored and trailer. People find it smelly and off putting, kids don't play along its banks any more as it is choked up. The local traders know it could be such a draw card for the area, developers know the potential that it offers.
Yet, the Government does nothing. Jack Pompei first knew something was wrong in 1950 with the creek and took it to the government, decade after decade he has raised it's head for help. When will they finally come up with a detailed long term plan for the creek? To restore it's health, to bring back life to a barren land. If we can not see it's potential, what it's true value is we might as well just fill it in. Close it down, stop it's pain.
Take the time and write into the leader and voice your concern. mordialloc.chelsea@leadernewspapers.com.au
