Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) (12:57): (1656) My constituency question is for the Minister for Housing, and it is in regard to the quality and safety of public housing sites in Glenroy.
My office has actually received a number of complaints from residents around that area about the poor quality and safety of the three separate public housing sites on Daley Street and Isla Avenue in Glenroy.
There have been reports of fires and squatters moving into the damaged and degraded units. The situation seems to be becoming increasingly volatile, and it is posing risks not only to the community but to the service workers and even frontline workers.
So I ask the minister: what can the community expect? When can the community expect these buildings to be repaired to a standard that is safe for residents and the community?
