 Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (14:43): (1319) My constituency question is to the Minister for Planning. The state Labor government have proposed developments of up to 12 storeys in Sandringham Village and up to 16 storeys along Hampton Street. I have asked my community their views on these matters, and in the last few days I have received more than 260 responses. Over 95 per cent of those respondents all disagree with the proposals that Labor has put on the table. Laurel said:

… they just bulldoze their inept, and ill thought through ideas onto the community …

Anna said:

There’s been no community input, but as usual, this Government doesn’t care about that.

Mary said:

There has been no consultation with local councils and the majority of the areas listed are either Liberal or Greens held seats, which suggests overt politicisation rather than where there is a genuine need.

My question is: why has the government ignored the voices and views of residents in my community?
