Mulgrave electorate
Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (14:48): (1201) My constituency question is to the Minister for Planning. What work is being done to create more diverse and affordable housing in Springvale? The Allan Labor government has been relentless in fighting for more affordable housing in Victoria, and I was fortunate late last year to have the minister and the Premier in my electorate of Mulgrave to share news of the exciting launch of even more train and tram zones, building more homes for young people, families and downsizers where people want to live, the place where I grew up. As part of this announcement, Noble Park and Springvale were successful in becoming selected as part of the program. These changes will open doors to so many and complement the suite of housing policies that this government has, including land releases, stamp duty discounts and working with the Commonwealth government on the Housing Australia Future Fund. I am proud to be part of a government which continues to fight for housing affordability.
