The Department of Housing advises:
(a) Following the implementation of the Disruptive Behaviour Management Strategy, the Department commenced keeping statistical information in relation to tenancy terminations for disruptive behaviour under the strategy. As at 1 August 2010, a total of eight tenancies had received their third strike under the strategy and court action to terminate the tenancy was initiated. Court Orders for possession were granted for five of these tenancies. The other three tenancies were not subject to court action because the tenants vacated the property prior to the court hearing. Of the five tenancies subject to a Court Order, only one involved bailiff attendance as the other four were vacated by the tenant prior to the date stipulated on the order.
(b) Metropolitan: Butler, Balga, Nollamara
Regional: Bunbury, South Kalgoorlie, Karloo, Spalding (Geraldton [2])
(c) The Department's records indicate the following numbers of dependent children were reported by the tenant to be residing each property at the time of vacation: Butler 2, Balga 2, Nollamara 0, Bunbury 2, South Kalgoorlie 2, Karloo 0, Spalding 7, Spalding 0. A family of seven dependent children were relocated prior to the court hearing
