INDIAN COAST RESORT
The Indian Coast Resort at Jurien Bay is being sold as vacant for redevelopment. This resort currently has a residential park home facility on which some 10 homes are sited. The owners of those homes believe they have until September to find a new site and relocate their homes, at an estimated cost of $20 000 per home. The pensioner owners will find this particularly difficult. Will the minister inform the house - (a) which housing options are available at Jurien Bay to those home owners if they find themselves unable to either sell or relocate their park homes; (b) what, if any, compensation will they be entitled to; and if there is no compensation, what assistance can be provided to those home owners? The PRESIDENT : Before the parliamentary secretary gives the answer, I should point out that there is probably a bit too much detail in that question. I ask members to cut down the length of their questions in terms of detail and matters that could be considered to be argumentative. Hon KATE DOUST

Thank you, Mr President. My response will be much shorter than the question. I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The Department of Consumer and Employment Protection cannot advise which other housing options are available in Jurien Bay, as it does not have jurisdiction in that regard. Provided that the residents at these sites are given the correct notice in accordance with their lease arrangements, or 120 days under the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987, it is unlikely that any form of compensation will be available. The Department of Consumer and Employment Protection will be able to provide advice to the residents on their rights and obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987. At present the department has not received any complaint from consumers in this matter. I would encourage any affected resident to contact the building and tenancy industries branch of the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection and it will take any inquiry lodged by consumers seriously and investigate as appropriate.
