Planning policy

John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:39): I have three matters to touch on today, starting last week with the Premier, the Minister for Planning and Mr Batchelor at Lido Cinemas in my community of Glenferrie, where the government announced the next phase of the activity centre redevelopment program. This government is not going to let the blockers get in our way. If councils are not going to do the work, we will. That will mean our kids, our families, can live closer by, in the communities they grew up in, closer to the small businesses, shops and footy clubs they grew up around. It is a good thing, and I am proud to support it.
