(a) – (d)
The WA Housing Strategy 2020–2030 was drafted prior to the effects of COVID, which radically reshaped the housing and construction markets, and is no longer an active document. Unlike the Liberal National Opposition, the Cook Government committed to a social housing target at the last election and has invested a record $6.3 billion in housing initiatives.
