HOME INDEMNITY INSURANCE SCHEME
1030. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for Commerce:
I refer to the minister's
announcement of 19 October 2022 pertaining to the state government's
home indemnity insurance scheme.
(1) How many indemnity insurance
claims were made in the financial years 2020–21 and 2021–22?
(2) As the
insurance scheme excludes apartments over three storeys, will the minister
undertake to rectify and review the current framework, which is insufficient
for protecting apartment owners and is essentially stifling purchaser
investment in apartments?
(3) Given the
McGowan government's infill target of 47 per cent in Western Australia,
will the government commit to parity in providing access to home indemnity
insurance for all apartment owners?
(4) If no to (3), why not?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
(1)–(4) I
thank the member for the question. The Minister for Commerce has advised that
this information will be provided on 26 October 2022.
