(No. B/1139) Mr M. Seeburn (Second Member for Vieux Grand Port & Rose Belle) asked the Minister of Housing and Lands whether, in regard to the newly constructed waterfront along the Coastal Road from Bois des Amourettes to Quatre Sœurs, he will state if consideration will be given for the proclamation thereof as public beach with a view to entrusting same to the Beach Authority for regular maintenance, cleanliness, and embellishment, including the planting and upkeep of appropriate coastal vegetation and, if so, when.
Madam Speaker, all beaches along the coastal road from Bois des Amourettes to Quatre Sœurs have been proclaimed as public beaches. On 22 January 2025, the said public beaches were vested with the Beach Authority. I am informed by the Beach Authority that cleaning and maintenance of these public beaches are carried out twice weekly in collaboration with Mauri-Facilities Management Company Ltd. This includes the collection and removal of wastes from the beach and rock revetment as well as regular grass cutting. Embellishment works are already undertaken at Bambous Virieux, Pointes aux Feuilles and Anse Jonchee public beaches. Further enhancement and the planting of additional coastal vegetation will be considered subject to clearances being obtained from the Conservator of Forests. That is my answer, Madam Speaker.
Thank you. Hon. Lobine! HIGHLANDS – INCINERATOR – OPERATIONALITY
