Constituency questions
Mordialloc electorate
Mordialloc electorate
Mr RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (14:43:063:): (6429) My constituency question is to the Minister for Solar Homes, and I ask: how many households have taken up the Solar Homes rebates in the Mordialloc electorate? We know we need to take action on climate change, reduce our consumption and emissions and make sure that we are giving households the cost-of-living relief they need, but it is really exciting that we can literally put a power station on top of every single home to support our communities to lower their emissions. There was a lot of excitement with the Andrews Labor government’s $1.3 billion announcement of the Solar Homes program and what this means to transform our communities, to lower emissions, to invest in renewable energies, to invest in skills and the development of those that are installing these great systems and to make sure that we help our families with cost-of-living pressures. Since the time of the announcement there has been a great deal of excitement across all of Victoria, and I am really keen to understand how my constituents—how many households—have taken up the offer of Solar Homes.
