I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
McGowan government is investing $2.1 billion into social housing over the next
four years, which includes the recently announced record investment of $875 million
as part of the 2021–22 state budget. This is the single largest one-off
investment in social housing in the state's history and will provide an
immediate boost to social housing. There has been significant planning work
undertaken to facilitate delivery of the housing and homelessness package. To
date, through HHIP, 10 properties under the first tranche have been completed
and a further 119 properties are currently under construction. All completed
properties are currently tenanted or are in the process of being tenanted.
Existing funding streams have been
recalibrated to deliver more social housing immediately, in response to the
challenges currently faced from the heated construction market. The use
of spot purchasing and the use of modular and prefabricated construction will
deliver quicker-to-market social housing.
