 Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:46): My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning. My constituent is a resident of Dingley Village. He has been at the forefront of a community campaign to prevent the development of Kingswood golf course into 941 dwellings. Despite more than 8000 written submissions from my constituents, the government approved the site rezoning. An overwhelming concern raised in these submissions is flooding. Developers have not mitigated this risk. While the need for affordable housing is clear, it must be sustainable and insurable. My constituent asks: what will the minister do to ensure that flood risk for this site is managed effectively?
