DEVELOPMENTWA —
LAND SUPPLY — KALGOORLIE
265. Hon
NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
Lands:
I refer to regional land supply.
(1) How many
developed lots have been finalised for sale by DevelopmentWA in Kalgoorlie for
the calendar year 2021 and separately since 1 January 2022?
(2) Of those lots
brought onto the market by DevelopmentWA respectively for 2021 and 2022 —
(a) how many have
sold; and
(b) what was the
average time on the market?
(3) Does the
minister have plans to increase lot supply in Kalgoorlie; and, if yes, what
number of lots are expected to come onto the market by the end of 2022?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) In 2021,
eight lots were available at the beginning of the year and a further 31 new
lots were released in October. No new lots have yet been released in 2022 as
all stock was released in 2021.
(2) (a) There were 38.
(b) Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, demand across the state has seen significant change. All
lots available at the beginning of 2021 had been on the market for five years.
The 31 lots released in October 2021 were sold within five months. These are
still under construction.
(3) Yes. Planning
and design for further stages are proposed for future release as part of the
GreenView estate, with the number and timing of lots being released subject to
contractor availability and statutory and project approvals.
