The Victorian government has sought to dismiss criticism of its landmark decision to demolish and rebuild public housing towers. The Andrews government hopes to build more than 800,000 homes over the next 10 years to address the housing crisis in Victora as part of its Housing Statement reform. Housing experts are questioning why the government isn't refurbishing the existing high-rises in a more cost-effective move. Residents living in the 44 towers across Melbourne will be relocated while the sites are rebuilt. Premier Daniel Andrews believes rebuilding the sites as a mix of social and affordable housing represents the best value for money.
