Renters shouldn’t have to go to extremes to lock in a home. That’s why we’ll make it an offence to accept bids, and introduce tougher penalties for agents and landlords who break the law. We’re levelling the playing field. Because it’s the right thing to do.
Done. We’ve changed the rules so you can build a granny flat without a permit. Small second homes in the backyard are getting more and more popular. But getting plans approved usually gets in the way – and really slows down the process. So we’ve made it easier. If the second dwelling is less than 60 square metres, it won’t require a permit. It means extra space as your family grows, or somewhere to stay when the kids come to visit for the weekend.
Whatever way you look at it, moving house is expensive. Whether you hire movers or do it yourself – it’s easy to end up out of pocket. But there’s one thing we can do to make this easier. Under our new Housing Statement, we’ll start portable rental bonds – so that they can be carried from one property over to a new one. It’ll ease financial burdens – because renters won’t have to fork out a big payment every time they move. And it’ll streamline the admin process for real estate agents and property managers who handle several rentals at a time. Most importantly – it’ll create a more efficient rental market in Victoria. And that’s good news for renters and landlords. For more info on how we’re helping renters in our new Housing Statement, head to https://www.vic.gov.au/protecting-renters-rights

We’re going to build more houses, and quickly. Here’s the plan.
A couple of years ago, we finished rebuilding 200 social and affordable homes in Ascot Vale. 80 homes had originally been built here in the 1940s – and 60 years later, they weren’t what they used to be. We more than doubled what was there – and created energy efficient, accessible, well-ventilated homes. And residents who lived there once before – like Omar and Abobeker – are back in the place they call home. Now we’re doing it again. We’re launching Australia’s biggest ever urban renewal project – and retiring and redeveloping all of Melbourne’s 44 ageing high-rise public housing estates by 2051. Because simply put, these buildings just aren’t up to scratch anymore. The cost of maintenance alone is huge, and a simple retrofit wouldn’t cut it. Redeveloping these towers will mean every exisiting household, plus more, will move into a new home that meets every modern building standard. And more Victorians will have a roof over their head – in high quality homes that they deserve.

This is what progress looks like. We’re lifting the final pieces of the puzzle into place at West Gate Tunnel. And by puzzle – I mean 100 tonne pieces of concrete.
