 Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (19:41): (2093) My constituency matter is for the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop. As has been long established, the project will require the occupation of the Box Hill Gardens for a substantial period, and constituents in my electorate are obviously very interested to know when that occupation of the gardens will commence. The planning originally said that by 2026 the main works occupation would take place. What I would like to know is, if not the day, at least the month under the project planning that the occupation for works of the Box Hill Gardens will take place and whether the replacement open space required will also be ready by that date.
