1) 5 properties were under the standard vacated maintenance process. The Department has a target of reoccupying vacant properties, which have been vacated and require general maintenance and cleaning, within 10 days. The 2007 Report on Government Services found that Western Australian had the lowest average turnaround time; that is the lowest time taken to reoccupy public housing stock. 2) 359 properties. 3) 379 applicants. 4) a)7,222 applicants b) 3,344 applicants 5) This information is not readily available. 6) 17. 7-8) It is suggested that this question be referred to the Minister for Education and Training. 9) This question should be addressed to individual local government authorities. The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1960 allows a person to challenge the local government if plans and specifications have not been approved within a prescribed period of 35 days, which provides an effective mechanism to ensure that building approvals are not withheld unnecessarily.
