Constituency questions

Kororoit electorate


Luba GRIGOROVITCH

Kororoit electorate

Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (14:47): (167) My question is for the Minister for Environment. The western region currently has the lowest tree canopy cover in Melbourne, and with urban development on the rise, especially in my electorate, the loss of trees and vegetation will only see an increase in average temperatures in the area. More Trees for a Cooler, Greener West is a fantastic initiative by the Andrews government to tackle climate change, grow new green spaces, drive down pollution and create jobs in Melbourne’s growing western suburbs, and one that is supported by many of my constituents in Kororoit. Can the Minister for Environment please provide an update on the progress of this initiative, specifically in the electorate of Kororoit?
