I refer to the Minister’s media release of 30 June 2010 headlined ‘Government releases land in South Hedland’, and I ask:
(a) of the 300 dwellings referred to by the Minister, how many have been completed for occupation by residents, and how many residents are accommodated in these dwellings;
(b) of the two lots allocated to the Cedar Woods Joint Venture referred to by the Minister, how many of these about 170 dwellings have been completed for occupation by residents and what is the mix of residential, key worker and affordable housing in these completed dwellings; and
(c) of the combination of lots allocated to Jaxon Pty Ltd referred to by the Minister, how many of these about 104 dwellings have been completed for occupation by residents and what is the mix of residential and affordable housing in these completed dwellings?

(a) Much of the land was constrained by native title and planning issues which are being progressed by the various companies involved. The recent native title agreement secured by the Liberal-National Government over South Hedland releases the constraint of native title from many of these sites, which will allow development to progress once relevant approvals are in place.
(b) Earthworks are scheduled to commence April/May 2012 subject to the timely receipt of the required approvals from the Town of Port Hedland and relevant servicing authorities and civil construction is scheduled to be completed by December 2012. A minimum of 15 per cent of the developable area will be allocated for affordable housing.
(c) Planning work is in hand and earthworks are scheduled to commence in late 2012, subject to receipt of relevant approvals in a timely fashion.
