TINY HOUSES PROJECT —
BUNBURY
948. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to the proposed development
of the Tiny Houses project planned for Plaza Street in Bunbury, which involves
the construction of three small dwellings to be used for social housing.
(1) What is the maximum number of
small dwellings that can constructed on this site?
(2) How many small dwellings does the government plan
to construct on this site initially and in the longer term?
(3) Is there any capacity to build
small dwellings on other locations in the same area?
(4) Does the
government have any plans to build additional small dwellings in Bunbury beyond
the three in the current proposal; and, if so, how many and where?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question.
(1) The maximum is three.
(2) The proponent
for the Tiny Houses pilot project is AccordWest, a not-for-profit community
housing provider, which intends to construct three dwellings on this site.
There are no plans for any further dwellings on this site.
(3) There is capacity to explore
other locations around Bunbury.
(4) The government does not have any
plans at this stage for additional small dwellings in Bunbury.
