POLLARD STREET PROPERTIES, GLENDALOUGH —
HOUSING AUTHORITY
976. Hon MARTIN PRITCHARD to the Minister
for Housing:
I refer to Housing Authority
properties in Pollard Street, Glendalough.
(1) Will the
Housing Authority build single-storey units for seniors on the empty block at
number 28, as it has at number 18; and, if not —
(a) why not,
given the demand for seniors' accommodation in the area; and
(b) what plans does
the Housing Authority have for the block?
(2) What plans does the Housing
Authority have for —
(a) the houses at numbers 6 and 8;
and
(b) the empty block at number 4?
(3) What was the
construction cost for the units at number 14, compared with that for the units
at number 18?
(4) Does 316 Harborne
Street belong to the Housing Authority; and, if so, why has this house been
empty for over one year?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) (a) The
development will not be specifically designated as seniors'
accommodation. The land at 28 Pollard Street, Glendalough, is zoned R60, and
therefore a single-storey development is not considered the best use of the
land. Single-storey homes are the most suitable design for seniors'
accommodation.
(b) The Housing
Authority intends to amalgamate the site with 30 Pollard Street. The Housing Authority's
current plans are to construct 14 units.
(2) (a) The homes are occupied by
seniors tenants.
(b) The Housing Authority's current
plans are to construct six units.
(3) The total
cost of 14 units at 14 Pollard Street, Glendalough that were completed in 2010
was $3.2 million. The total cost of 10 units at 18 Pollard Street, Glendalough
that were completed in 2003 was $773 000.
(4) No; not applicable.
