Constituency questions

Southern Metropolitan Region


Georgie CROZIER

Southern Metropolitan Region

Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:41): (396) My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning, and it is in relation to Fishermans Bend. In 2018 the Fishermans Bend framework made clear commitments. These were commitments made by the government, including a number of things around light rail and a community hospital I might add, which have not been delivered and are nowhere to be seen. It is just on a piece of paper on some website somewhere, and it has not been delivered. Importantly that light rail is for the entire community. The council, the residents and all those involved are incredibly frustrated around what the government has promised with nothing coming to fruition. So my question to the government is: when will the framework be acted upon? When will the Fishermans Bend development actually be delivered? The council, the community, the residents and businesses all want some clarity around this issue, which they feel is in limbo.
