Big Housing Build
Mr KENNEDY (Hawthorn) (13:23): Deputy Speaker, I congratulate you on your well-earned new responsibility.
Last Wednesday I was pleased to meet the Minister for Housing at Bills Street in Hawthorn, where we took in the progress of the 206 social and affordable housing units being built there, which will no doubt improve the lives of many Victorians. It was a great experience to see this part of the Andrews government’s Big Housing Build, a project which is on track to deliver 16 000 new affordable homes to Victorians, changing their lives by providing them with secure and quality homes. They can build upon this foundation to create a life that they value and pursue their goals. We have just hit the halfway milestone in this landmark policy: 6000 new homes have already been built or are underway and 1400 households are either living in or preparing to move into their new homes. The importance of this project cannot be understated, as the assurance of having a secure roof over your head is something that every human being should have, and the Big Housing Build will deliver this assurance to tens of thousands of Victorians.
