Housing

Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (18:58): (1605) On Bluff Road in Hampton East the new social housing development being built as part of the Big Housing Build is coming on apace. The cranes are working hard. There are hundreds of workers onsite, transforming a site that was once 164 homes into 285 new homes – a 16 per cent increase of social housing on that site. It has been remarkable to see the progress of this build in recent months as these new dwellings rise up and showcase just how significant this state Labor government’s investment in social housing and affordable housing in our communities has been. As this project progresses and construction continues, the action that I seek from the Minister for Housing and Building is to join me on a visit to that site to inspect this building.
