HOUSING AUTHORITY — CLIMATE CONTROL POLICY
1184. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Housing:
I
refer the minister to the Housing Authority rental policy manual,
particularly the climate control policy, which states —
The
Housing Authority will install ceiling fans to properties in the North West or
Kalgoorlie and remote areas.
I am sure the minister is aware
that under the government housing air conditioning policy, government employee
accommodation north of the twenty-sixth parallel is equipped with air
conditioning.
(1) When was the climate control
policy last reviewed?
(2) Is the climate control policy
based upon a climatic discomfort index?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The climate control policy for
public housing was last amended in 2015.
(2) The climate control policy is
based on Bureau of Meteorology climate zones.
