I refer to the proposed development around the old East Perth power station. (1) When does the minister expect to announce how many of the proposed 635 dwellings will be available as public housing? (2) Does the minister’s previous announcement that dwellings would be available to people of all ages and family situations include families with children? (3) If so, what arrangements have been considered in relation to schooling? (4) If not, what are the limitations that will apply to the minister’s previous announcement. Hon ADELE FARINA
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The redevelopment of the East Perth power station is being undertaken by the East Perth Redevelopment Authority. The EPRA has a policy target of ensuring that 10 to 15 per cent of the total dwelling stock of new project areas is provided as affordable housing. Master planning for the power station project envisages a total residential dwelling yield of 635, generating between 64 and 96 affordable dwellings. (2) Affordable housing encompasses households with or without children. (3)-(4) The EPRA is reviewing the provision of social infrastructure in inner city areas, including East Perth, to ensure that consideration is given to the provision of community facilities, such as schools, having regard to population and demographic forecasts. Community groups also raised the need for educational institutions such as schools in the area during the consultation process for the East Perth power station draft master plan. The member should be aware that families are already living in the precinct immediately to the north of the power station, and the need to travel to schools has not made that precinct unsuitable for residential development.
