HOUSING SUPPLY UNIT
556. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I refer to the housing supply unit,
announced on 17 October 2023.
(1) How many full-time equivalents
are employed within the unit?
(2) Do any positions within the
unit remain unfilled; and, if so, what positions?
(3) What is the corporate overhead
of the unit?
(4) What policies has the unit
produced to date?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) The
housing supply unit is a directorate in the Department of Treasury, with eight
FTE positions. This represents 2.6 per cent of Treasury's approved 304 FTEs
for 2024–25, with the unit accounting for a similar percentage of
corporate overheads. The unit is working to boost housing supply and
affordability in Western Australia, including
coordinating the state's endorsed approach to participating in the
Housing Australia Future Fund facility and the National Housing Accord
facility's first round of funding.
