I thank the member for some notice of the question. (1) The project involves construction of 10 one-bedroom units for singles and 20 two-bedroom units for families in a series of four blocks of two-storey units and one block of three-storey units. (2)–(3) Two of the ground floor two-bedroom units have been designed specifically for people with disabilities. The disability units have electronic sliding front doors and have been designed to accommodate people with physical disabilities who are eligible for social housing assistance. This may include people confined to a wheelchair. The tenants have been pre-selected by the department’s occupational therapist. When completed, the complex will be managed by Access Housing Australia Ltd, one of the department’s community housing growth providers. Access Housing Australia will allocate the units to people from the joint public community housing waitlist. (4)–(5) In March this year the almost completed housing units were severely damaged by hail. The builder has only recently received the go-ahead from its insurance company to commence the repair works. The repairs will be completed within two months. Repairs yet to be completed have delayed the occupation of the units. All units are essentially complete but are now under repair following damage caused during the March storm.
