It is proposed to reduce the department’s presence down to 11%. This reduction is subject to the voluntary relocation of the department’s tenants. It needs to be recognised that no tenant will be evicted or forced to move as a result of this programme. Tenants will be encouraged to relocate and the department will meet all reasonable relocation expenses. Work has also commenced in the aged persons complex in Britannia Place. An estimated $681,033 will be spent to upgrade these aged persons complex consisting of 26 one bedroom units. A Memorandum of Understanding is also in place with the city of Kalgoorlie/Boulder which in effect is an agreement to funding infrastructure works within the project area on a 50/50 basis. (2) To date a total of 19 properties have been refurbished of which 13 are for sale and 6 for retention. Two properties have been sold at prices ranging from $70,000 to $79,000 and seven properties are currently under offer.
