I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
(1)–(2) Generally,
housing delivery is aligned to the proportion of demand across the state and
client housing needs. At a macro level, that
is approximately 70 per cent across the metropolitan area and 30 per cent
across regional Western Australia. At a local level, delivery of new
constructions may also be based on other factors, including land availability,
capacity of local builders, speed of construction method, age and disposal or
refurbishment considerations for existing stock.
