 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:52): (2610) My constituency question today is to the Minister for Housing, Building and Precincts. Has the new social and affordable housing development on Bluff Road in Hampton East been completed? Last Friday I had the opportunity to tour the recently completed social housing development at Bluff Road in Hampton East with the federal Minister for Housing, the state minister for housing and the Special Envoy for Social Housing and Homelessness. It was great to see the 285 new social, affordable and market rental homes on the site, including a 16 per cent increase to the amount of social housing on that site, replacing homes that were built there in the 1950s. I got to meet Steven, a resident who is moving back in. He had been a resident of that social housing for 10 years prior to the redevelopment. He moved out during the redevelopment and has now moved back into a brand new energy-efficient unit. He loves it. The complex looks fantastic. Residents are moving in. This is Labor delivering more social housing.
