I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. The Department of Housing advises —
(1) (a) As at
2 May 2014, there are 41 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom and four three-bedroom
properties.
� (b) The development cost $95 million with the
following funding breakdown: Fleetwood Corporation, $42 million; Department of
Housing, $33 million; and royalties for regions, $20 million.
� (c) The rents are based on income and are $470
a week for a one-bedroom property, $740 a week for a two-bedroom and $950 a
week for a three-bedroom property.
(2) The
Department of Housing and Fleetwood Corporation determined the final unit
configuration after consulting with local businesses, the Pilbara Development
Commission, local government, community groups and the then Department of
Regional Development and Lands. In July 2012 when the transaction was executed,
it was based on a severe shortage of rental properties in Hedland, a need to
address significant demand for one, two and three-bedroom accommodation, and to
build housing capacity in Hedland.
(3) The Osprey
Key worker village is permanent.
