 Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:53): (2269) My constituency question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Last year I asked the minister about the lack of progress on vital transport extensions to Fishermans Bend. The minister’s response referred to the:

… rapidly growing precinct, set to be home to 80,000 residents and 80,000 workers by 2050.

The government spruiks its housing and transport goals but fails to deliver. The Victorian Auditor-General’s Office report last year into Fishermans Bend identified a lack of transparency on the status of key projects, which means that the public cannot understand if intended outcomes outlined in the framework are being achieved. Montague precinct is expecting the highest population growth in Fishermans Bend, and Port Phillip council is still waiting for the finalised Montague precinct plan. After years of inaction, the community deserves better. I am asking the minister to release the Montague precinct plan as a matter of priority.
