AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member
for some notice of the question. I provide the following on behalf of the
Minister for Housing and Works.
(1)–(4) The WA Labor government's record
$5.8 billion investment in housing and homelessness measures has been bolstered
by a strong relationship with the federal government. Contract close for all
state-led successful projects across HAFF rounds 1 and 2 was reached with
Housing Australia by June 2025. Many of these projects are density, infill projects
requiring significant site preparation and planning, and works have already commenced.
A total of 2,342 social and affordable dwellings in state-led projects will be
delivered through the HAFF. All dwellings will be delivered to the minimum
silver liveable standard. The Department of Housing and Works is unable to
advise on HAFF projects that are not state-led, including the quantum of
dwellings or their accessibility standard.
