Independent Kooyong MP responds to Victorian government rezoning plan

Monique Ryan, the federal member for Kooyong, was up on ABC News Breakfast earlier to discuss the Victorian government's rezoning plan:

The announcement this weekend from the premier was for nine massive new developments just in the electorate of Kooyong. That's huge. These could be up to 20 storeys high. Of course that will cause some concern from people who live in the area, who have chosen to live there, because it's a beautiful part of the world.

We're not saying we don't want it, I think people in my part of the world are welcoming it. We'd also like some assurances from the government they will include social and affordable housing in these developments. We really don't have any detail as of yet and that's the stuff that's missing at this point.
