A Dandenong disability pensioner’s home remains gutted and uninhabitable 16 months after being flooded by raw sewage.
Sharon Harris, along with other neighbours, was the victim of overflow from a blocked main sewer in nearby Railway Parade on 13 October 2019.
After this worst nightmare, Ms Harris has been bogged in plumber and insurer disputes while her home stands in extensive disrepair.
Her home remains bare of floorboards. Despite the home being scrubbed down at least four times, a faint pungence remains.
“It is not fair and it’s not right.
“Why should I be suffering because South East Water aren’t maintaining their pipes?”
The next stage of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project is set to transform the city into a vibrant retail, commercial and residential hub, creating thousands of local jobs in the process.
The development agreement has now been signed for this next stage, with Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan announcing on Monday 21 December that Melbourne developer Capital Alliance will provide $600 million to develop a two-hectare site in central Dandenong, near the Dandenong transport hub – creating more than 2600 jobs during construction and close to 5000 ongoing positions when the development is complete.
Capital Alliance’s proposal will deliver amenities for the whole community – with at least 500 new dwellings, community spaces, offices, a hotel and conference centre, an urban brewery entertainment district, education facility, retail, medical, a cinema and a contemporary Indian retail and dining precinct.
