Bayswater electorate
Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:46): (1117) It is all happening at the site on Burwood Highway and Scoresby Road in Knoxfield as we get on and deliver around 400 homes. A big thanks to the team at Development Victoria. My question is to the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts in the other place: when can we expect to see works started on the wetlands part of that project? This has been years in the making. This is going to take currently closed-off, fenced-off space into new, beaut public open space – new wetlands specifically designed for the habitat and nature there, linking into Blind Creek, where we have just spent millions of dollars in partnership with Melbourne Water and Knox City Council. This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a new eco-space with more homes for people who need them exactly where they should be, with access to public transport and a whole bunch of other great things. I am looking forward to hearing back from the minister.
