Western Metropolitan Region
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (13:07): (1013) My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Planning and is regarding future development works on the soon to be former Footscray Hospital site. Can the minister please update my constituents on the Maribyrnong City Council’s adopted plan for the existing Footscray Hospital site on Gordon Street? With the new Footscray Hospital set to be opened late next year and the demand for infrastructure and housing, many of my constituents are wondering what will happen to the old location for the Footscray Hospital. The western suburbs lack key infrastructure and lack housing options. The redevelopment of the old Footscray Hospital has the potential to address these growing demands. It would cater for the new hospital workforce and the social housing need and provide the Maribyrnong area with the infrastructure it needs for the future.
