North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:59): (669) My question today is to the Minister for Development Victoria. In Greensborough on the corner of Flintoff Street and Para Road there is a development underway to build a commuter car park and bus interchange. What does this have to do with you, you might ask? This has come up a bit today. Well, this development is an excellent opportunity to build more public and affordable housing in Greensborough and to ensure that people have access to high-quality homes in this thriving precinct. This is a well-connected site. It is just near the shops and the station, and I would like to ask you to work with your ministerial colleagues to make sure that this development is built in a way that makes the most of this prime location and increases housing in Greensborough.
Banyule council has been advocating strongly for this project to be completed in a way that would allow housing to be built on top of the car park. It is an excellent location – there is potential for 100 housing units to be accommodated on the site. Please work with your colleagues to make sure that the Greensborough car park and bus interchange is built in a way that would allow more housing to be built above this project.
