● Sonya Kilkenny, State Minister
■ Sonya Kilkenny, State Planning Minister, has announced ambitious housing targets for local municipalities. A further 348,000 new homes are projected for the eastern region from now to the year 2051. This covers the municipalities of Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash and Whitehorse. Nearby, a further 28,000 homes are set down for the Yarra Ranges Shire. Ms Kilkenny joined with Premier Jacinta Allan in kicking off the next stage of local government consultation on draft housing capacity targets tailored for every local government area in the state. Final targets are to be released by the end of this year. Biggest growth area is Whitehorse, now with 74,200 homes, with another 79,000 expected. At Monash, currently 78,300 homes, a further 72,000 dwellings are set down. Much of the growth in these areas are around hubs associated with the Suburban Rail Loop. Boorondara is set to provide 67,000 new homes; Knox is listed for 47,000; Maroondah is to have 44,000; and Manningham’s target is 39,000. “The draft housing targets represent an initial distribution of new homes across each local government area,” said a Government statement issued alongside the prohections.
