Constituency questions
South Eastern Metropolitan Region
South Eastern Metropolitan Region
Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (12:48): (1967) My question is for the Minister for Environment and Climate Action. I recently met with representatives of the Dingley Village Community Association and Save Kingswood Golf Course groups. They expressed significant concerns with the proposed development of the site, which is shared by many Dingley Village residents and the Kingston council. This project has been working its way through the system for some time, with responsibility transferred to the new Minister for Planning and now to the minister for environment. The Liberal Democrats are not instinctively opposed to development proposals. We do in fact believe that increasing supply is important for housing affordability. That does not mean that reasonable and responsible engagement with locals should not occur. Will the minister commit to meeting with these local community groups to hear their concerns?
