PUBLIC
HOUSING — 408 DALY STREET, BELMONT
79. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the
Minister for Housing:
I refer to the recent decision to demolish the state housing
property at 408 Daly Street, Belmont, and sell the subdivided land.
(1) Will the
department retain any of the subdivided land for the purpose of building a
replacement state housing property?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) In light
of the ideal location of the land for people with mobility issues, did the
department consider using the land to build housing for seniors?
(4) If no to (3), why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The
department will retain the rear lot at 25 Kennerly Street, Cloverdale, which
has an existing public housing property on it.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) No.
(4) The department
will sell the front lot, which will reduce the concentration of social housing
in the area.
