Around 400 people came to Goddard Park on to support Doing Density Better. The community attending this event is committed to more housing, especially more affordable housing. The lack of planning for additional infrastructure to support the proposed growth is what communities are voicing concerns about, and those concerns are being ignored by the State Government.
This event brought together State Politicians, Councilors and Community Advocates to elaborate on what their views are on this topic. The Premier was invited but didn’t even bother to reply, The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces declined as he was unavailable.
