Ms THEOPHANOUS (Northcote): My question is to the Minister for Housing. There are currently two Homes Victoria projects underway in my electorate of Northcote, delivering more and improved social housing in Northcote and Preston. I ask: what are the next steps that my community can expect in the delivery of these two critical projects? As the inner north grows I have been pushing to embed equity, amenity and environmental sustainability into every initiative that we pursue. Of central importance is the delivery of modern housing to give more people the safety and security they need. There are many ways that people can find themselves without safe housing: family violence, mental health issues, job loss, disadvantage. We have a fundamental responsibility to each and every person needing a home, and that is why we are investing over $5.3 billion to build thousands of them. The two projects in my electorate are delivering critical homes, but more than that, they are building communities. I would welcome an update on the new housing, amenities, open spaces, environmental standards, opportunities for first home buyers, local job creation and construction time lines as we get underway with building a brighter future for more local residents.
