Southern Metropolitan Region

Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:11): (1148) My constituency question is also to the Minister for Planning. It relates to the issue that Mr Davis has raised, and that is around the activity centres at Camberwell Junction. These activity centres are going right across the city, as we know, and many, many people have been concerned about the government’s lack of consultation, particularly with councils but also with residents. On 6 October I attended a forum with Mr Davis, Leader of the Opposition Mr Pesutto, the member for Kew Jess Wilson and also Shadow Minister for Planning James Newbury, along with Professor Michael Buxton, who was incredibly informative around the issues that are going to occur given the government’s approach. It is very concerning that the government refuses to have proper consultation on this process, but what I want to ask the minister is: what discussions has she had with Professor Buxton and his working group in relation to the planned Camberwell Junction activity centre?
