BELLARINE MP Alison Marchant is urging residents to give feedback during consultation on the redevelopment of St Leonards Pier.<\/p>\n

Ms Marchant, who spent time discussing the topic with residents on Saturday, says a draft plan released by Parks Victoria, incorporating findings from previous studies and early stakeholder engagement, is now open.<\/p>\n

“St Leonards Pier is not just a pier, it’s a gathering point for the local community and for many it comes with cherished memories and time with family and friends,” Ms Marchant said.<\/p>\n

“I encourage locals and those who are interested in the pier, to provide their feedback to the plan, to ensure we capture all the ideas that are important to the community.<\/p>\n

“I know locals and visitors are passionate about their pier and I want to see as much feedback as possible, so we get the best outcome for the St Leonards township.<\/p>\n

Ms Marchant said the proposed pier had a focus on safety and accessibility catering to both recreational and commercial users.<\/p>\n

The plan also proposes improvements in pier infrastructure to support a variety of activities ranging from swimming to diving.<\/p>\n

The Sustainable Local Ports Framework currently identifies St Leonards as one of Victoria’s six priority port areas as the Victorian government commits $46 million to critical works on local ports.<\/p>\n

“I want to make this clear \u2013 costings for this project have not been finalised because the design has not been finalised,” Ms Marchant wrote on social media on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“This plan is a draft that gives the community the opportunity to have their say. No one is suggesting these draft plans are the final design.<\/p>\n

“I want this project to be amazing. I want the community to get a new pier they will love just as much as this one.<\/p>\n

“But I need your [the community’s] help. I need everyone to give their feedback. I need you to tell Parks Victoria exactly what you’d like to see.”<\/p>\n
