Broadmeadows electorate
Mr McGUIRE (Broadmeadows) (14:52): (5355) My question is to the Minister for Housing, right here at the table. How will the electorate of Broadmeadows benefit from Australia’s biggest ever investment in public and community housing? The Victorian budget will deliver the $5.3 billion Big Housing Build to construct more than 12 000 new homes, support about 10 000 jobs per year for the next four years and supercharge Victoria’s comeback from the pandemic. This package aims to boost the state’s social housing supply by 10 per cent in just four years, providing a stable foundation for thousands of Victorians to rebuild their lives. This is critical. I have long advocated for a mix of public-private social housing regeneration. Broadmeadows has a proof of this concept that I was delighted to work with the minister previously on, converting the Mews estate into Valley Park—and a great outcome there. We want to keep the collaboration, and it is fitting and apt that I acknowledge the career-long commitment to these causes from the minister.
