Housing

Debate resumed on motion of Sonya Kilkenny:

That this house commends the Allan Labor government’s housing strategy, including the Big Housing Build, housing targets for councils, planning and rental reforms and activity centre planning and recognises that improving affordability requires clear planning direction and building more homes where Victorians live, work and access transport.
