Ringwood electorate social housing
Mr HALSE (Ringwood) (17:21): (6451) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Housing. Those who know me know that I have been passionate about that basic human right of a secure place to call home, so it was a highlight of last year when we announced an investment of more than $80 million across the local government areas of Maroondah and Whitehorse through the Big Housing Build to deliver 233 social housing dwellings. This will include $20 million to be directed towards 62 dwellings in the suburb that I live in, the suburb of Mitcham. These projects will bring hundreds of jobs into the area, stimulate our local economy and, most importantly, bring stability and security for those who need it most. The action I seek from the minister is an update on these vital projects being delivered in the district of Ringwood.
