North-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:57): (1463) My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning. The Suburban Rail Loop precinct plan for Box Hill has been published, and the SRL seems to be playing fast and loose with the future of the Box Hill brickworks site. The precinct plan seems to indicate it is zoned for high-rise and the illustrations seem to indicate it, but when you ask officers, they say there are no plans for high-rise buildings on the brickworks site. I ask the minister to please provide my community with clarity. They only have a few weeks in which to provide their feedback on that plan, so we need to know: is it the intention of the government that the Box Hill brickworks site be built on?
