PUBLIC HOUSING — WAITLIST
495. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the Minister
for Housing:
I refer to the public housing
waitlist and priority housing waitlist, respectively.
(1) How many applicants and
individuals were on each list on 31 March 2023?
(2) For the
12-month period ending April 2023, what was the average wait time for each
list, broken down by region and applicant type?
(3) Will the
minister commit to recommencing publication of a housing dashboard of key
public housing statistics like these on a monthly basis, without the need for
non-government MPs to use up questions during question time, as is done in
other Australian jurisdictions?

AnswerView source ↗

thank the member for some notice of the question. The following response has
been provided by the Minister for Housing.
(1)–(3) It
is not possible to provide the information requested in the time required. I therefore
ask the honourable member to place this question on notice.
