Crugnale says woodlands overlay now rests with council

Key points

• Bass MP Jordan Crugnale supports an interim Environmental Significance Overlay for the Western Port Woodlands, but says the Bass Coast Shire Council is responsible for submitting the required material to the Department of Transport and Planning.
• The council wants the overlay to protect the woodlands, which stretch between Lang Lang and Bass, until 2028.
• The state government is seeking further information from the council to assess the application.
