So I did this to set up a new virtual host:
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
sudo touch test
sudo gedit test
I have saved this content inside the test file:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test.local
DocumentRoot /home/richard/projects/test
</VirtualHost>
Then I did:
mkdir /home/richard/projects/test
touch /home/richard/projects/test/index.html
sudo gedit /etc/hosts
I have edited the hosts file to look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 richard-desktop
127.0.0.1 test.local
127.0.0.1 test2.local
127.0.0.1 test3.local
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
Then I did:
sudo a2ensite test
sudo a2dissite default
sudo service apache2 reload
I then go in my browser to:
http://test.local
And it doesn't work, the page is loading forever.

I think the problem is in the Listening port. According to your output, it is listening only on IPv6 but not on IPv4 thats why the page is always loading..
According to your output of netstat command:
You have to have change your /etc/apache2/ports.conf to make it listen on the ipv4 address also.
Add the following line in
/etc/apache2/ports.conffile:Listen 0.0.0.0:80
