In reply to  Ms CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (20 June 2019)

Mr WYNNE (Richmond—Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs):

This government recognises the need to deliver public housing that meets current building standards and the expectations of the Victorian community.

A planning application was lodged, and approval was given for six storeys.

A procurement process is now underway for the New Street, Brighton site. The total number of social and private housing dwellings to be developed at the estate will depend on the successful proponent’s response. Assessment of the proposal by the project team, including the Victorian Government Architect, will include consideration of design, urban realm, integration with the local surrounds, affordability, open space and cost.
