AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) As at 31 July 2022, there were 308 social housing
properties in the Shire of Carnarvon.
(2) Vacancy numbers are always a single-point-in-time
number that fluctuates for a range of reasons. Properties may be awaiting acceptance of offers from
applicants, undergoing minor maintenance repairs or refurbishment prior
to new occupants moving in, or undergoing major refurbishment as part of a redevelopment.
As at 31 July 2022, 43 social housing properties in the Shire of Carnarvon were
vacant while undergoing, or scheduled for, maintenance repairs or
refurbishments, or awaiting acceptance of offers from applicants, and will be
returned to social housing stock once complete. Two further properties are not
returning to stock as they are identified for demolition or redevelopment.
