North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:59): (1739) My constituency matter is for the Minister for Planning. Blackburn is renowned as a neighbourhood of local character, great tree canopy and some beautiful areas – a very balanced community. The community are rightly concerned about the announcement of an activity centre. They have looked at the activity centre template on the government website, and they understand that there will be a high-rise near the station and other high-rises. But they are concerned to know exactly how high. They want to know exactly where. They want to know when the consultation will begin. So I would ask the minister: can you please explain to my community when the consultation will begin and what advance materials they will be provided so they know actually what they are being consulted on?
