HOUSING INVESTMENT
PACKAGE — REGIONS
1541. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the
Minister for Housing:
I refer to the minister's
comments that 30 per cent of new public housing units in the housing investment
package will be built in regional WA.
(1) What is the lead agency for
this project?
(2) From where has the $150 million
been budgeted?
(3) How many of the 300 new homes
will be built in regional WA?
(4) Where are the
20 refurbishments in regional WA, and will the minister please list the
locations of these dwellings?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) It is the Department of
Communities.
(2) Funding will be provided
through consolidated revenue.
(3) Approximately 30 per cent of new homes will be delivered
in regional WA.
(4) Individual
projects and sites have not been finalised. It is anticipated that locations
will be confirmed in early 2020.
