PUBLIC HOUSING — WAITLIST — KALGOORLIE
ELECTORATE
424. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Housing:
I refer to the housing waitlist for
the electorate of Kalgoorlie.
(1) How many people are currently
waiting for housing in —
(1) the City of Kalgoorlie–Boulder;
(2) the Shire of Coolgardie;
(3) the Shire of Dundas;
(4) the Shire of Laverton; and
(5) the Shire of Menzies?
(2) For those in (1), what is the
current vacancy rate for each local government area?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The Department of Communities does not collate
waitlist data by local government area—LGA. The waitlist can be
broken down by preference region and preference zone.
I seek leave to have that part of
the answer incorporated into Hansard.

material to be incorporated.]

(2) Properties
can become vacant for a number of reasons and are generally only vacant for a period
of time. Of the 130 properties vacant in the region as at 30 April 2022, 116 of
these properties are undergoing maintenance repairs and will return to public
housing stock once complete.
That information is also set out in
tabular form, so I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.
