I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
(1)–(2) The
building is being occupied in stages as apartments are completed and
commissioned. The first apartments were completed in February 2024 and offers
were subsequently made to applicants on the waitlist.
The first tenant's lease commenced in early March 2024. The Department
of Communities tenants properties as soon as possible after ensuring
they are clean, safe and in working order once construction is finalised.
(3)–(5) Nine
apartments are currently occupied and a further 14 apartments will be let as
they are completed. The member may not be aware that a number of processes are
required to commission apartments. These processes occur during the building handover
and include rectification of any defects and essential fire, safety and
compliance inspections, which are required before a further property can be
allocated.
(6) As at 31
March 2024, a total of $8 771 096.58.
