Eastern Victoria Region
Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (14:08): (825) My question is from a constituent in Morwell to the Minister for Housing: given the government’s extensive new housing policy and promises to create considerable housing opportunities, will the minister explain the obstruction and lack of support by her and in turn the government for the proposal to develop 550 housing allotments in Traralgon, which lies in the heart of the Eastern Victoria Region? My constituent asks whether this delay and lack of support from the government may be related to the provision of information to the government and the department, which has led to the belief that there is substantial housing supply available in Traralgon, when I am told there are actually less than 90 lots currently available?
Harriet Shing: On a point of order, Acting President, can I suggest that Dr Heath direct that matter to the Minister for Planning? If it is not social housing, that is the portfolio to which it would to my mind most relevantly apply.
Renee HEATH: Yes, thank you. Could I please direct that to the Minister for Planning.
