Croydon electorate
David HODGETT (Croydon) (14:42): (532) My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning, and the question I ask is why Homes Victoria is not bound by a covenant at 5 Blossom Walk, Croydon South, in the same way that occupants of the estate are. My constituent who lives in the Gateway estate, Croydon South, advises me that Homes Victoria can build two units at 5 Blossom Walk when the entire estate is bound by a title covenant that runs forever at law. I am informed that hundreds of properties in that estate are bound by a title covenant restricting them from having more than one dwelling per lot and that such dwellings must be of at least 75 per cent double brick or brick veneer external construction. Homes Victoria are building two units on one block, which I understand will have weatherboard facades. My constituent has spoken to Homes Victoria and was informed that they cannot explain how or when the land title covenant somehow evaporated from this site.
