Constituency questions

Pakenham electorate


Pakenham electorate

Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (14:49): (845) My question is for the Minister for Housing: how many homes have been completed or are under construction as part of the Big Housing Build in the Pakenham district so far? I know the state government is making great progress in the construction of social housing, ensuring people on low incomes having difficulty securing a private rental or unable to purchase their own property can still have a place to call home. In June this year suburb trends put Pakenham in the top 10 suburbs experiencing the worst rental pain. It is also one of the state’s fastest growing peri-urban suburbs, with a predicted influx of another 30,000 residents within the next 20 ‍years. The Big Housing Build is a positive example of the Allan Labor government working on its commitment to achieving our goals in the housing statement.
