Hi, I’m Kat Theophanous - the Labor Member of Parliament for Northcote in the Victorian Legislative Assembly.
Hi, I’m Kat Theophanous - the Labor Member of Parliament for Northcote in the Victorian Legislative Assembly.
Northcote is a creative, clever, and compassionate community. It’s been my home for my whole life – and I will always fight for us.
As we grow, there are challenges and opportunities ahead – to tackle inequality and cost of living pressures, strengthen economic security and bring better balance to our lives.
As your MP for Northcote, I’m focused on delivering real action.
That means better healthcare and modern schools, secure jobs and thriving businesses, affordable housing and community facilities, and leading a rapid transition to renewable energy for a safe climate.
I believe in the power of community. So I’ll always listen and work with you to stand up for the things we care about.
Together, we can keep delivering a bright future for the inner north.
I'm immensely proud to announce that a re-elected Labor Government will invest $7.87 million to redevelop Northcote Primary School's two-storey learning building, creating modern, fit-for-purpose spaces for students and teachers!
A re-elected Labor Government will invest $300,000 to support the Darebin Creek and Merri Creek Management Committees.
This funding will support the local volunteers who roll up their sleeves and protect these waterways for future generations.
Labor knows community houses bring people together
That’s why Labor will deliver $250,000 to renew the house’s physical and digital infrastructure.
The Northcote Festival, hosted by the Holy Monastery of Axion Estin, will receive $200,000 over four years under a re-elected Victorian Labor Government, securing long-term support for one of the inner north’s growing multicultural celebrations.
Speaker, the Opposition has promised a $40 billion cut to the state budget, including $22 billion from its public sector policy alone.
The Liberals and Nationals say they can achieve that through a hiring freeze on back-office roles, without redundancies and while protecting essential services. But analysis from the Australia Institute disputes that.
Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Environment.
Will the Victorian Government declare the establishment of the Wallan Wallan Regional Parkland to protect the health of the Merri Creek waterway which runs downstream to Northcote?
I rise to express my gratitude to the people of Northcote.
It’s the greatest honour to represent the inner north. And it gives me heart to know I don’t do it alone.
Every day, I fight for our community alongside the people, organisations, businesses, innovators and advocates who care deeply about our collective future.
Together, we’ve achieved remarkable things.
I rise to speak on the Inquiries Amendment (Special Prosecutor) Bill 2026.
A bill about ensuring integrity and accountability are at the heart of the delivery of major government-funded projects.
It establishes the office of the Special Prosecutor to work alongside the Royal Commission into the integrity of major public and civil infrastructure construction projects in Victoria.
My question is to the Minister for Public Transport.
How is the government working to deliver more regular outbound Hurstbridge Line services during the weekday evening peak, so Fairfield, Alphington and Westgarth locals have more frequent and reliable options to get home from the city?
My adjournment is to the Minister for Housing and Homelessness.
I ask the Minister to seek confirmation from Nightingale Housing that the walking and cycling connection proposed as part of the 1A Hamilton Street development in Alphington, will be designed and delivered to fulfil its intended role as a C2 main route within Victoria’s Strategic Cycling Corridors.
First, I want to acknowledge what is a very positive project for our community.
