Parliament: 40 Session: 1

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.
