Katherine COPSEY (Southern Metropolitan) (12:58): (2397) My question is to the Minister for Planning. My constituent Adam rents in Hawthorn, along with other families who live in the four-apartment block that he calls home. Recently, though, his block of flats was sold, and Adam fears that the same fate awaits his home as what he has seen on other nearby sites, where existing multiunit housing was demolished and replaced by large single dwellings or a couple of town houses, resulting in an overall loss of housing in the neighbourhood. Adam supports growing housing availability in well-serviced suburbs like Hawthorn, and in fact his current home is very close to the government’s planned activity centre. But when existing flats are demolished for lower density housing, this undermines the government’s policy intent of boosting housing supply and affordability. As Adam has observed, this is not an isolated case. On Adam’s behalf, I ask the minister if she will consider instituting a planning consideration of no net loss of housing, which he hopes would prevent the loss of good quality, well-located existing multiunit housing.
