Northern Metropolitan Region
Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:57): (1115) North Melbourne is already one of the best places to live in Melbourne, and I will tell you why: it is close to transport services, shops and schools and it has got a footy club that is pretty open to the community. That is why it is so loved. It is also one of the Allan Labor government’s planned activity hubs. I had a visitor who is currently renting in North Melbourne come to my electorate office to inquire about the precinct and how many homes will be built in the area. While they are renters now, they want to become home owners there in North Melbourne, in particular around the new Arden Metro Tunnel station, which they are so very excited about. My question on behalf of my constituents is for the Minister for Precincts in the other place, Colin Brooks: how many new homes are we expecting in the new Arden precinct?
