Northern Metropolitan Region

Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) (12:43): (1812) My constituency question is for the Minister for Housing. My constituent is a single mum with two children, and she resides in one of the North Richmond towers. She observes what she describes as basically a free-for-all of non-residents accessing the building and using the lifts and stairs. This has been affecting her family’s quiet enjoyment, but it has also made her feel very unsafe at times. It seems that security is not checking for residential status and people are just walking in and out freely of her building. The current redevelopment of the foyers presents an opportune time to implement new safety and security measures, so she asks: what security or other changes is the minister planning to address this problem?
