(a) The site identified for the Manjimup Senior’s Housing Project is a 2.5-hectare former school site purchased by the Housing Authority in 2010. It will deliver approximately 55 units and will be developed in five stages. The cost to deliver Stage 1 will be approximately $4.6 million which includes $2 million of Royalties for Regions funding and $2.6 million funded by the Department of Communities. Of the $4.6 million, $2.5 million has been allocated for site remediation and construction of 26 serviced lots and $2.1 million for construction of nine dwellings.
(b) The estimated proceeds from the sale of the nine dwellings is $2.5 million, with the estimated value of the remaining 17 lots totalling $1.2 million. The value of the remaining land will be improved by the increased level of infrastructure provided to the site during the Stage 1 civil works.
(c) In 2017-18, 460 homes were built under the Affordable Housing Action Plan:
(d) The South West Development Commission, in collaboration with the Shire of Manjimup and Department of Communities, developed a business case for a Royalties for Regions grant application to develop the proposed Manjimup Seniors Housing Project. At the time of the submission the South West Development Commission’s role was to facilitate various grants schemes under the Royalties for Regions program. The South West Development Commission has not provided any funding to this project.
