Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 317 asked in the Legislative Council on 6 April 2022 by Hon Steve Martin

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

GOVERNMENT REGIONAL OFFICERS' HOUSING

317. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Housing:

I refer to question without notice 442, asked on 10 August 2021 by Hon Colin de Grussa. As I read this question, I note that there is a typo and I assume that the person answering it will have done a better job of answering it than I have done of asking it, but I will go ahead and ask it.

(1) To 31 March 2021—it should be 2022, obviously—

(a) which government departments have requested a GROH property for their staff; and

(b) how many of the staff in each department in part (a) have requested a GROH property?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) (a) GROH is provided to a number of client agencies across the state. As this part of the answer is in tabular form, I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.

[Leave granted for the following material to be incorporated.]

Central Regional Tafe

Department of Education

Department of Finance

Department of Communities

Department of Justice

Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage

Department of Transport

Department of Water and Environmental Regulation

Department of Biodiversity, Conservation & Attractions

Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety

Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development

Department of Fire & Emergency Services

Forest Products Commission

Legal Aid Commission

Northern Regional TAFE

Pathwest

Dental Health Services

South Regional Tafe

WA Police Force

Water Corporation

 

(b) Client agencies continually submit and update requests for GROH to enable them to meet forecast and changing demand as part of their workforce planning. The Department of Communities has a live GROH client portal and is unable to identify the exact property request from client agencies as at 31 March 2021. The member can take this and if it makes sense to him, that is good, but if he needs to ask another question tomorrow, perhaps he can do that. These requests fluctuate throughout the course of a year as business needs change and do not always indicate an immediate demand for housing.
