MORNINGTON PENINSULA: New Chair for McCrae inqiry
The State Government is establishing a Board of Inquiry to get to the bottom of what happened at the McCrae landslide and to identify measures to prevent similar incidences occurring in the future.
Nick Staikos, Minister for Local Government, announced that Renée Enbom KC (pictured) had been appointed o lead the Inquiry.
Ms Enbom is an eminent Senior Counsel who has appeared in several Inquiries in Victoria over the last decade, including the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informants and the Yoorrook Justice Commission, as well as several recent Commonwealth Royal Commissions.
Once established, the Inquiry will develop a process for locals to engage with its work, with details on how people can submit their stories to be released in the coming weeks.
Multiple homes were evacuated in McCrae and a council worker was hospitalised after a house slid down a hill in January and collided with other homes following the landslide.
