PRIVATE LAND RELEASES - AFFORDABLE HOUSING
In light of the ongoing affordable housing crisis in Western Australia, I ask - (1) Does the government require developments on new private land releases to dedicate a certain percentage of the land to address the affordable housing crisis? (2) If no to (1), does the government consider that a mandated percentage would be a suitable tool to address the affordable housing crisis? (3) If yes to (2), will the government mandate the provision of affordable housing in private land developments of a significant size? (4) What other strategies does the minister have to increase the percentage of affordable housing in new private land releases? (5) Will the government amend the planning regulations to ensure that local government town planning schemes include a percentage of affordable housing? (6) If no to (5), why not? Hon ADELE FARINA
