Whatever happened to Werribee’s super city?

The plans were spectacular: a glittering, waterfront tech-city complete with 50-storey skyscrapers, a network of underground tunnels and parking, homes for nearly 100,000 people and accommodation for 50,000 students rising out of the flat, volcanic plains of Werribee.

Theophanous, who was found to have organised donations from the developers to his daughter’s 2018 campaign in the seat of Northcote, rejects any suggestion by IBAC of wrongdoing.with no explicit reasoning, but the developers maintain today that their plans for the huge swath of land were the best options for the site.The AgeThe AEC consortium unsuccessfully took the state government to court over the canned deal.

Wyndham Mayor Susan McIntyre says the worst outcome would be seeing the enormous site filled with more housing developments.The AEC representative is still bitter years later. He says his consortium is “$50 million in cash and $90 million in investment” down the drain after the government backtracked on the tender in 2019.

“Two-thirds of our population have to go out of the municipality to work,” Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre said. “They’re spending at least an hour or two ... in the car there and back every day. There’s between 120 and 130 babies born here every week, so that’s a school filled every four weeks. We need the local jobs for local people.”

So many bought around those suburbs assuming that this project will see light of the day eventually but I guess certain 'leaders' take the votes on that side of the Yarra for granted. Shame that they're not held to account by these same set of voters election after election.

Government should ‘make sure’ super is ‘actually funding’ retirementThe government needs to make sure super is “actually funding” Australians’ retirement as Labor plans to reform superannuation tax concessions, according to Independent MP Allegra Spender. “I do agree with the principle that super is there to fund retirement not to minimise taxation,” Ms Spender told Sky News Australia. She said she is “concerned” by the government’s current conversation considering using super for government-funded housing and “other social areas”. “Super money is your money so you should make your decisions about what investments you think suit you, and whether you want to invest in clean energy or housing or those other really important things. “I think the government question is should you get a big tax concession at a certain level – so I think those are two separate questions. 'Income is taxed, and the question is how much your super falls into that.” Teals and Labor lies.
