Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:47): (877) My matter is for the attention of the minister for Homes Victoria, for social housing and public housing and so forth, and it concerns the Beacon Cove Neighbourhood Association and the meetings that I have had and Ms Crozier has had with that association and the government’s plans for an almost fivefold increase in the number of people on the site, which is basically on the boulevard very close to the beach, a reasonable-sized piece of land. But actually there is a real set of concerns about the process that is occurring here. The minister has not ensured proper community input and not ensured that the proper arrangements are in place, so I would ask the minister to go back to meet with the community again and to ensure that there are proper processes and proper community input and consultation.
