DEVELOPMENTWA —
SOCIAL AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
543. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Lands:
I refer to the residential
development projects listed on the DevelopmentWA website.
(1) What is the current policy in relation to
affordable housing delivered in DevelopmentWA residential projects?
(2) What is the current policy in
relation to social housing delivered in DevelopmentWA projects?
(3) How many dwellings have been delivered in
DevelopmentWA projects since Labor came to power in 2017?
(4) How many of the dwellings in
(3), as a percentage or number, were affordable housing?
(5) How many of the dwellings in
(3), as a percentage or number, were social housing?
Hon KYLE
McGINN replied:
I thank the member for some notice
of the question. I provide this answer on behalf of the minister representing
the Minister for Lands.
(1)–(2) DevelopmentWA
undertakes land development under the social and affordable housing policy and
targets of the WA housing strategy 2020–2030.
(3)–(5) DevelopmentWA
delivers affordable lots that may then be used for either social or affordable
housing outcomes. In line with the WA housing
strategy, DevelopmentWA has a policy target that 20 per cent of its
single residential lots are affordable. The table below provides the number of
single residential lots delivered in DevelopmentWA projects since 2017 along
with the number and percentage of these lots that were affordable.
I seek leave to have the table
incorporated into Hansard.
