Housing Supply

By John Berger

My question is for the Minister for Housing in the other place Minister Brooks. Today was a massive day for my community. I had the opportunity to join Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Premier Dan Andrews, Victorian Minister for Housing Colin Brooks and the Commonwealth housing minister Julie Collins in my electorate, in Prahran. We had a tour of the Bangs Street project, a project as co-chair I know a lot about. We are delivering 445 new homes for Prahran. This project will provide a mix of social and market rental homes, helping tackle housing affordability, and I am proud to announce that the works are almost complete – new open green spaces, pedestrian cycling pathways, a cafe and an artist studio, with opportunities to build a sense of community. My community of Prahran know that only Labor will deliver the affordable housing of the future. My question is this: what else is the Andrews Labor government doing to address housing supply issues in Southern Metropolitan?
