00:00I'm in Mount Atkinson in Melbourne's booming Outer West.
00:06In fact, this is the fastest growing region in all of Australia.
00:10It's a lovely community, the people we've spoken to are very close with their neighbours,
00:14but one complaint that they've got is that they say they move in on promises of
00:18schools coming soon, shops, infrastructure, and the reality is something quite different.
00:23You're born into a vision, and the vision is just so far from reality.
00:28The reality is like we are living in an island with no facility, no community engagement,
00:37and no access to transport, shops, medical facility, anything goes wrong, we are stuffed.
00:45I pay a premium price for the block of land with all these flashy promises,
00:50so I expect those things to be delivered.
00:55The local council has decided to write to the Victorian Government.
00:57They want tougher regulations on the way developers and real estate agents
01:02can market these kinds of areas.
01:04It's a very big issue. We are the fastest growing city in Australia.
01:07We have got development everywhere.
01:10So for us, we're constantly hearing from residents about it.
01:14The industry body representing developers told the ABC tougher regulations
01:18would just push up house prices.
01:20They're calling on the Victorian Government to invest more in infrastructure
01:24in growing communities.
