John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (10:00): I have two matters to raise today. Last week I joined the Minister for Planning in the other place, Minister Kilkenny, in my community of South Yarra not too far away from where my office is, and I had the opportunity to join the official topping out of the Greystar South Yarra development, one of Australia’s largest build-to-rent projects. It is less than 4 kilometres from the city and surrounded by all that you need – shops, essential services and a great culture. These are places where many Victorians want to live. We know that we have to do all we can to build more, and this new place helps us get there, with 617 new homes across more than 3300 square metres of land. Well done to all involved.
