Gabrielle DE VIETRI (Richmond) (14:50): (1315) My question is for the Minister for Climate Action. My hairdresser in Abbotsford wakes up in a panic every time it rains. She leaves home to pack sandbags to keep the stormwater out. And now we know why: Melbourne Water has just released updated flood maps, and it is not good news. Homes across Richmond, Cremorne, Burnley, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Abbotsford and Clifton Hill are at risk of severe flooding. This is climate change up close, and we must act on this information. But Yarra council had this information a year ago. The mayor buried it, putting the community at risk. We cannot afford any more climate denial. We need an upgraded stormwater system and urban greening, and Victoria needs a resilient homes package, just like they have in New South Wales and Queensland, to support people in high-risk areas and mitigate the impacts of climate disasters. Minister, when will the government establish a resilient homes package?
