More than 60 people attended the opening of the Murray Street office, situated near Memorial Square.
Mr Guy said the Colac businessman was an outstanding candidate who had strong local connections.
“Richard has already shown he has what it takes to represent Polwarth,” the Opposition Leader said. “A local businessman fighting for the region, he is an outstanding candidate and if elected, will make an outstanding MP.”
Mr Riordan said the Liberal Party did not take the electorate for granted. The major Coalition party has held the seat since 1949 with retiring MP Terry Mulder securing a safe margin of more than 10 per cent at the last state election.
“Polwarth is a great electorate and with plenty of effort, we can make it even greater,” Mr Riordan said.
