Southern Metropolitan Region

Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:05): (1236) My constituency question is for the attention of the Minister for Planning, and it relates to a community forum that I am holding with my colleague Mr Newbury in Brighton on 1 December. Like Mr Davis, we are hearing from hundreds of constituents who are concerned about the government’s plans to have towers in suburbs right across our electorate. The government has announced 25 activity centres, but there was no consultation with the community. This was not taken to the election in 2022, and communities have been blindsided by this announcement from the Premier and the planning minister, who seems to have a different view when it comes to her own electorate and her backyard. I am asking that the Minister for Planning also attend the community forum that we are holding on 1 December at 11 am at the Brighton bowls club, for her to hear from the communities of Bentleigh, Brighton, Moorabbin and the surrounding areas.
