Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 664 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 August 2022 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SOCIAL HOUSING — CARNARVON

664. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Housing:

I refer to social housing properties in the Shire of Carnarvon.

(1) What is the total number of social houses in the Shire of Carnarvon?

(2) Of those in (1), how many are vacant or undergoing repair or refurbishment?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

(1) As at 31 July 2022, there were 308 social housing properties in the Shire of Carnarvon.

(2) Vacancy numbers are always a single-point-in-time number that fluctuates for a range of reasons. Properties may be awaiting acceptance of offers from applicants, undergoing minor maintenance repairs or refurbishment prior to new occupants moving in, or undergoing major refurbishment as part of a redevelopment. As at 31 July 2022, 43 social housing properties in the Shire of Carnarvon were vacant while undergoing, or scheduled for, maintenance repairs or refurbishments, or awaiting acceptance of offers from applicants, and will be returned to social housing stock once complete. Two further properties are not returning to stock as they are identified for demolition or redevelopment.
