GEOFF HUTCHISON It’s part of building site folklore that the Grollo brothers managed to get the Rialto Tower in… Melbourne, built on time because they provided beer and strippers on Fridays. Well now the biggest privately owned construction company in Australia is turning its gaze west. Daniel Grollo joins us from Melbourne. (greetings not transcribed) Daniel can you tell me is that Rialto story true? DANIEL GROLLO No, it’s not true there’s lots of myths around Rialto. It was a great iconic project that we done… back in the early ‘80s here in Melbourne, but that one’s not true. GEOFF HUTCHISON That wasn’t true. Now your family has always been seen as a… very colourful one, and I… it’s was begun by your grandfather, wasn’t it, some sixty years ago? DANIEL GROLLO Yes, my grandfather was an immigrant from Italy and… in the ‘50s he started a small pavement company and my father joined that company in the… sort of… ‘60s and really took it from there up into one of the biggest builders and developers in the country. GEOFF HUTCHISON – 2 – Now does your father adhere to the idea that the first generation makes it, the second grows it and third one loses it?

I have read the Development Plan and the Delegate Report. I also attended community consultations and a drop-in session conducted under the auspices of DHHS. I support most of the contents of the Delegate Report but wish to emphasise aspects, and to raise issues not covered there. Tenants My first concern is for the tenants – my neighbours – who lived in the Office of Housing Estate that has now been demolished. A commitment was given to those tenants that they could return, and for that to happen there will need to be sufficient dwellings of the appropriate size. I support the Recommendation that the range of larger dwellings should be increased, particularly given the additional information provided in the Delegate Report about the percentage of families with children in the City of Melbourne in need of affordable housing.
