MY HOME PILOT PROJECT —
WOODBRIDGE
1135. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the minister representing the
Minister for Planning:
I refer to the 15 October Echo
News article titled ''Woodbridge battle''.
(1) How many
other sites were considered within the City of Swan council area before the
Devon Street site in Woodbridge was selected?
(2) How was the
piece of bushland, zoned regional reserve and parks and recreation, at Devon
Street be offered for the My Home pilot project?
(3) What
community consultation regarding the Devon Street site has been undertaken with
the Woodbridge community since the My Home pilot project was launched in
Fremantle in early 2019?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The
Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Western Australian Planning
Commission are not able to advise how many sites in total that the My Home
group may have considered in the City of Swan; however, they are aware of one
other DPLH or WAPC site considered by My Home located in the City of Swan.
(2) The reserve land in question was identified by the
Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage to potentially test the My
Home pilot project for temporary housing.
(3) The proposal is currently being advertised to the
community by the City of Swan as part of the development application
process ending 21 October.
