Prahran electorate

 Rachel WESTAWAY (Prahran) (14:39): (1642) My question is to the Minister for Planning. When will the minister guarantee that any planning changes that allow Windsor Community Children’s Centre to be lost will be refused? Windsor Community Children’s Centre sits on land gifted by the Baillieu government to Swinburne for educational purposes. Swinburne now seeks to sell the site for development, despite the centre supporting around 80 local families and childcare places in the local area already being scarce. The Commonwealth has committed $4.3 million and Stonnington council up to $4.6 million to preserve the site, yet the threat of rezoning and change of use is forcing ratepayers into an impossible position, made worse by local Labor councillor Meghan Hopper, the doctor of spin, trying to blur the lines of responsibility for this failure.
