Western Metropolitan Region
Dr CUMMING (Western Metropolitan) (12:18): (1818) My question is for the Minister for Planning in the other place, and it is from Brimbank City Council. Will the minister immediately make public the state government’s combined departmental response to the draft 2022 Melbourne Airport master plan and the preliminary draft major development plan for the third runway? Last week I met with the mayor and the chief executive officer of Brimbank council. At their last meeting council resolved that it did not support the 2022 draft Melbourne Airport master plan and the preliminary draft major development plan for the third runway. The council and the community need to understand the state government’s position. They need to see the government’s response and any issues that it raised with Melbourne Airport about its proposed development. Minister, could you please let the council know what the state government’s combined departmental response was?
