DEPARTMENT
OF HOUSING TENANTS — ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR POLICY
11. Hon ED DERMER to the minister representing the Minister
for Housing:
I refer to the antisocial behaviour policy for Homeswest
tenants.
(1) Is it now
the case that the department will act on police reports only from those
properties adjacent to the offending residents at the premises?
(2) Is it now
the case that complaints of disruption and antisocial behaviour from nearby
residents other than direct neighbours will not be taken into account in
assessing whether eviction action should commence?
(3) Is this a
change of the government's policy; and, if so, when did this change
occur and why was the change made?
