Pascoe Vale electorate
Ms BLANDTHORN (Pascoe Vale) (11:44): (2309) My constituency question is for the Treasurer. The question I ask is: how much has been paid in first home owner grants across my local area and what benefits does this provide for our local community? Since 1 July 2017 over 26 000 Victorians have received $350 million in first home owner grants thanks to the Andrews Labor government. I am keen to find out how much of this investment has been made in the local area that I represent and the benefits that this program has for our local community. The 2016 census data shows that 34 is the median age of people in the City of Moreland. Indeed our population is young, and it includes many people who moved to our local area to have their families, make their homes and buy their first home in our local community. I am very keen to know how much of this investment is being made across the local area that I represent.
