Ms THEOPHANOUS (Northcote): My constituency question is to the Minister for Housing. Minister, can you provide an update to my community on the status of the DHHS land adjacent to the Fulham Grange spur in Fairfield?
For many years this site has been home to Interact Australia, which provides individualised support services to people living with a disability in our community. A section of the site has also been leased to the Fairfield community garden.
Now that Interact Australia has ceased operations and is no longer a tenant of the site, the land has remained vacant. And, as you know, it sits adjacent to a much larger vacant piece of land owned by VicTrack.
Together these sites on the corner of Grange and Heidelberg roads hold significant strategic value to my community and offer an opportunity to improve on public amenity, safeguard connectivity and improve service delivery.
My community would welcome an update on the DHHS component of this land and our ongoing efforts to ensure its future use is sensitive to the values of my community and improves outcomes for residents.
