QuestionView source ↗
low-cost HOUSING — RURAL AREAS
I refer to the fact that the mid-west was not included in the $60 million project to roll out 200 prefabricated houses in rural areas. (1) Is the minister aware that the manager of Cameliers Guest House, an organisation that provides low-cost accommodation, has reportedly described the housing crisis in Geraldton as desperate? (2) Is the minister aware that there is a serious lack of teacher accommodation in the wheatbelt town of Tammin and, according to the principal — (a) the Government Regional Officers’ Housing has repeatedly brushed aside requests for a four-bedroom house and two two-bedroom units; (b) the shire wishes to resume the house it provided to the principal; and (c) maintenance issues with the departmental house provided for the principal, but occupied by a teacher, are endless and when a recent storm flooded the house, all the occupants had to sleep in one room? (3) Will the Carpenter government allocate funding for prefabricated housing in the mid-west and in Tammin; and, if not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank Hon Brian Ellis for the question. On behalf of the Minister for Housing and Works, I advise the house that the response to the question is lengthy. I seek to table the response and seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 3928.] The following material was incorporated — I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. The Department of Housing and Works advises 1 The State Government is committed to providing more affordable, low-cost housing options including more social housing, assistance for private renters and affordable home ownership opportunities. At least 1,124 extra social housing properties are being delivered; bond assistance has been increased and the innovative shared equity scheme First Start introduced. The State Government is also working with the new Federal Labor Government on a range of initiatives many of which seek to boost low cost housing supply to enhance the State’s initiatives and improve housing affordability. An Expression of Interest was advertised in January 2008, seeking submissions from providers of transportable or prefabricated housing to construct, deliver and install on site a substantial volume of housing in regional and remote areas of the State. This housing will be used to meet the needs of government regional officers, people in remote Aboriginal communities and public rental applicants throughout the State, including the Mid West. 2 a) Government Regional Officers’ Housing’s (GROH) capital works program is at record levels and the State Government has provided $150 million of funding over the past eighteen months to assist in delivering new and replacement housing. GROH works with client agencies to prioritise its capital works program with DET being responsible for the allocating the housing to its employees. In August 2007 GROH relocated a four bedroom transportable property to Tammin for the Department of Education and Training (DET). GROH has scheduled the construction of another transportable unit in 2008/09. GROH is also actively seeking additional land to satisfy DET’s requirements. b) GROH understands the Principal has a private lease arrangement with the Shire. GROH will assist in efforts to extend this lease until alternative accommodation can be provided. c) GROH is working to address the maintenance needs of the four-bedroom property including the water damage incurred after a heavy downpour in early April. 3 GROH is providing two prefabricated houses to a remote community in the Mid West region. As advised above GROH is arranging the construction of another transportable in Tammin in 2008/09.

(1) Is the minister aware that the manager of Cameliers Guest House, an organisation that provides low-cost accommodation, has reportedly described the housing crisis in Geraldton as desperate?

An Expression of Interest was advertised in January 2008, seeking submissions from providers of transportable or prefabricated housing to construct, deliver and install on site a substantial volume of housing in regional and remote areas of the State. This housing will be used to meet the needs of government regional officers, people in remote Aboriginal communities and public rental applicants throughout the State, including the Mid West. 2 a) Government Regional Officers’ Housing’s (GROH) capital works program is at record levels and the State Government has provided $150 million of funding over the past eighteen months to assist in delivering new and replacement housing. GROH works with client agencies to prioritise its capital works program with DET being responsible for the allocating the housing to its employees. In August 2007 GROH relocated a four bedroom transportable property to Tammin for the Department of Education and Training (DET). GROH has scheduled the construction of another transportable unit in 2008/09. GROH is also actively seeking additional land to satisfy DET’s requirements. b) GROH understands the Principal has a private lease arrangement with the Shire. GROH will assist in efforts to extend this lease until alternative accommodation can be provided. c) GROH is working to address the maintenance needs of the four-bedroom property including the water damage incurred after a heavy downpour in early April. 3 GROH is providing two prefabricated houses to a remote community in the Mid West region. As advised above GROH is arranging the construction of another transportable in Tammin in 2008/09.
(2) Is the minister aware that there is a serious lack of teacher accommodation in the wheatbelt town of Tammin and, according to the principal — (a) the Government Regional Officers’ Housing has repeatedly brushed aside requests for a four-bedroom house and two two-bedroom units; (b) the shire wishes to resume the house it provided to the principal; and (c) maintenance issues with the departmental house provided for the principal, but occupied by a teacher, are endless and when a recent storm flooded the house, all the occupants had to sleep in one room? (3) Will the Carpenter government allocate funding for prefabricated housing in the mid-west and in Tammin; and, if not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH replied: I thank Hon Brian Ellis for the question. On behalf of the Minister for Housing and Works, I advise the house that the response to the question is lengthy. I seek to table the response and seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 3928.] The following material was incorporated — I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. The Department of Housing and Works advises 1 The State Government is committed to providing more affordable, low-cost housing options including more social housing, assistance for private renters and affordable home ownership opportunities. At least 1,124 extra social housing properties are being delivered; bond assistance has been increased and the innovative shared equity scheme First Start introduced. The State Government is also working with the new Federal Labor Government on a range of initiatives many of which seek to boost low cost housing supply to enhance the State’s initiatives and improve housing affordability.
