Ferntree Gully electorate
Mr WAKELING (Ferntree Gully) (14:43): (6534) My question is for the Minister for Housing. I have been contacted by a resident who lives in public housing in Ferntree Gully. Six years ago a tree fell on the roof of their house and damaged the home. Despite repeatedly asking the Ringwood office of housing to repair it, nothing was done. Consequently black mould started growing in the laundry, which spread, causing his young daughter to develop respiratory issues. Despite repeated requests for assistance, it finally seemed that the respiratory issues motivated the office to take the matter more seriously, and he and his daughter were moved to temporary accommodation. The office of housing admitted that they should have acted sooner. Although having just received an application to transfer to another property, my constituent now finds himself being offered a smaller house than his original home. So, Minister, my constituent would like to know: what will you be doing to address his concerns, and will you apologise to him and his daughter for what they have put up with?
