Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:37): (1082) My matter is for the Minister for Planning, and it concerns the announcement in recent days of 10 zones across the metropolitan area, a number of which are in my electorate of Southern Metropolitan, specifically Camberwell, Chadstone and Moorabbin. These areas the government has singled out for intense development – a high-rise, high-density development – and what we have not seen from the government are detailed plans for health services, for education services and for additional capacity to deal with the tens of thousands of new people. So will the minister release the education plan, the health plan and the sewerage plan for these high-density, high-rise, intense developments that are being forced on local communities without consultation?
