SUBMISSIONS OPEN SEPT 30 – 31 MARCH 2025
ABOUT THE INQUIRY
The Victorian Greens have secured a parliamentary inquiry into the Victorian Labor Government’s plan to demolish 44 public housing towers and privatise most of the land. The inquiry will investigate the rationale and cost-modelling for the decision, whether alternatives were considered, as well as the plan’s impact on current public housing residents.
The inquiry will be accepting submissions from the public to inform its recommendations. Many groups that stand to profit from the government’s decision will be making submissions in support of demolishing the towers, including property developers and wealthy investors.
This is why it is crucial that as public housing residents and their supporters, you make your voices heard. If a sea of people make submissions opposing the project, the inquiry and the government will not be able to ignore you.
This inquiry is an important opportunity to force the Labor government to tell the truth about this disastrous project and to save public housing in Victoria.
HOW TO MAKE A SUBMISSION
You can make a submission in writing or as an audio or video recording. Your submission must address one or all of the Inquiry’s ‘Terms of Reference’.
