Stop Labor’s property giveaway at Fitzroy Gasworks.
The Victorian Labor Government is giving almost 3 hectares of public land in Fitzroy to property developers for private profit.
When the plan for the redevelopment of the old Fitzroy Gasworks site was announced at the 2018 and 2022 elections. Our community was promised public, social and affordable housing. But now in the midst of a housing crisis, they are putting developer profits before the basic right to a home. The new plan has no clear commitment to public, social or genuinely affordable housing.
The state government should not be giving up public land for property developer profits in the midst of a worsening housing crisis and while over 120,000 people wait for public housing.
I’m joining the community to call on the government to deliver:
- At least 10% social homes
- At least 10% genuinely affordable homes (rent is no more than 30% of income)
- Public housing and public facilities
