SOCIAL HOUSING — COMMUNITY HOUSING LTD —
GERALDTON
290. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Housing:
I refer to the Minister for Housing's
media release on 25 January announcing $58 million to refurbish community
housing properties.
(1) Of the $6.7 million
allocated to Community Housing Ltd in Geraldton, how much has been allocated to
housing in Geraldton?
(2) How much of that money has been
spent to the end of March 2022?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Of
the $6.7 million awarded to Community Housing Ltd under the social housing
economic recovery package grants program, $690 939 is allocated for 11 projects
in Geraldton. Grant payments for these 11 projects are expected to commence in
the second quarter of 2022. The member may note that the media release states
that the referenced location is defined by the organisation's postal
address provided in the application and is not necessarily the location in
which the projects will be delivered.
