Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Minister for Health Infrastructure) (09:48): Can I start by giving a shout-out to Danielle and Dhaani, two work experience students in my office who helped write my members statement this week.
Firstly, 96 new social homes will be built in Williamstown thanks to this government’s continued commitment to and investment in social and affordable housing. The redevelopment of Bronte Court in Williamstown will see the site transform from 48 dwellings to 96 modern, energy-efficient homes for Victorians who need them most. Construction will begin next year, and community consultation will happen later this year.
