 Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:05): My question and constituency matter is for the Minister for Education. Constituents in my electorate are well aware of the numerous activity centres and high densification that is coming to their regions in Box Hill and Blackburn, Burwood and Glen Waverley. What has been a consistent concern is the lack of matching investment in social infrastructure, particularly in school capacity. Our schools are already at high capacity, struggling to keep numbers contained, but with populations planned to double I would like to know from the minister: what are the plans to substantially increase school capacity in my electorate?
