I thank the member for Geraldton for the question. (1)-(2) All members would be aware of the chronic housing shortage right across regional Western Australia. Members would also be aware of who was responsible for the chronic waiting list. Mr M.P. Murray : It is a seven-year waiting list. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : It is a seven-year waiting list. They were in government for eight years! Mr M.P. Murray : Many of the regions are not happy. The SPEAKER : Order! I call the member for Collie-Preston to order for the first time. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : I think the member for Collie-Preston would rather be asking me the questions. All members would be aware of the chronic housing problems in regional Western Australia. Members from the Pilbara and Kimberley would be aware that rentals are above $1 500 a week, which is completely unsustainable. I thank them for their advocacy on this issue. It is a pity that the previous minister, when in government, did not see it as a new priority of government. Conventional construction methods have failed to keep pace with demand, and in many cases conventional construction methods were not suited to the unique conditions in regional Western Australia. It is imperative that new designs and construction techniques are promoted to provide a new, real solution to fast-tracking housing in regional Western Australia. The previous minister for lands instigated the Revolution Road project at Seville Grove to highlight new housing techniques. This has been a key project. Designs demonstrating what may be possible in new homes for construction times, energy efficiency and solar passive orientation have been very important, as have quick-build panel systems, prefabricated and transportable homes, and aerated concrete, steel or lightweight composites. I would encourage all members of Parliament to go to Seville Grove to look. It is an important way of addressing some of the unique challenges of housing. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Midland! Mr B.J. GRYLLS : I was particularly impressed with two companies. EcoFab is building a lightweight, steel-framed, three-bedroom, one-bathroom home that can be completed in 16 weeks. Fababode is building a three-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home which is made of prefabricated steel and which can be delivered on site completely finished and fitted out, ready to live in after services have been connected. These innovations are extremely important. The disappointing part is that the previous government’s commitment to addressing the housing crisis in regional Western Australia extended only to a display village in Seville Grove. The new government is determined to use innovative construction techniques to fast-track the provision of these houses in the regions.

(1) Can the minister please briefly explain why it is important to showcase new methods of construction that enable builders, architects and suppliers to demonstrate to homebuyers and renovators an alternative way forward in housing construction?

(2) What is the government doing to promote this initiative? Mr B.J. GRYLLS replied: I thank the member for Geraldton for the question. (1)-(2) All members would be aware of the chronic housing shortage right across regional Western Australia. Members would also be aware of who was responsible for the chronic waiting list. Mr M.P. Murray : It is a seven-year waiting list. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : It is a seven-year waiting list. They were in government for eight years! Mr M.P. Murray : Many of the regions are not happy. The SPEAKER : Order! I call the member for Collie-Preston to order for the first time. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : I think the member for Collie-Preston would rather be asking me the questions. All members would be aware of the chronic housing problems in regional Western Australia. Members from the Pilbara and Kimberley would be aware that rentals are above $1 500 a week, which is completely unsustainable. I thank them for their advocacy on this issue. It is a pity that the previous minister, when in government, did not see it as a new priority of government. Conventional construction methods have failed to keep pace with demand, and in many cases conventional construction methods were not suited to the unique conditions in regional Western Australia. It is imperative that new designs and construction techniques are promoted to provide a new, real solution to fast-tracking housing in regional Western Australia. The previous minister for lands instigated the Revolution Road project at Seville Grove to highlight new housing techniques. This has been a key project. Designs demonstrating what may be possible in new homes for construction times, energy efficiency and solar passive orientation have been very important, as have quick-build panel systems, prefabricated and transportable homes, and aerated concrete, steel or lightweight composites. I would encourage all members of Parliament to go to Seville Grove to look. It is an important way of addressing some of the unique challenges of housing. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Midland! Mr B.J. GRYLLS : I was particularly impressed with two companies. EcoFab is building a lightweight, steel-framed, three-bedroom, one-bathroom home that can be completed in 16 weeks. Fababode is building a three-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home which is made of prefabricated steel and which can be delivered on site completely finished and fitted out, ready to live in after services have been connected. These innovations are extremely important. The disappointing part is that the previous government’s commitment to addressing the housing crisis in regional Western Australia extended only to a display village in Seville Grove. The new government is determined to use innovative construction techniques to fast-track the provision of these houses in the regions.
