AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Wanneroo for her excellent question. (1)-(2) The question was quite appropriately addressed to the minister with responsibility for the Department of Land Information, because that department not only creates the lots, but also issues the titles on the lots so that it knows exactly how many lots come onto the market each year. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call to order the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and the member for Roe. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : Members opposite often interject when this kind of matter is raised and suggest that the government somehow was not prepared for the boom and is not delivering the required number of lots onto the market. There has been a rapid increase in the number of lots that have come onto the market and I am very glad that the member for Wanneroo asked this question. There can be no dispute about land title information. In 2000-01, when this government first came to power, just 10 788 freehold green title lots were created across the state. I am pleased to announce that since that time, the government has increased the number of freehold green title lots created to 24 229 in 2005-06. That is not a 100 per cent increase in the number of lots per annum; it is a 125 per cent increase in the number of lots per annum. In 2000-01, 10 788 lots were delivered onto the market; in 2005-06, 24 229 freehold lots were delivered onto the market. Apart from this being an impressive achievement, similar trends have been reflected in the number of strata title lots created. I will give the house the figures for those lots as well. There has been an increase of 88 per cent right across the board, including strata lots and green title lots. A staggering 34 255 lots came onto the market in 2005-06. In 2000-01 there were just 18 229. Everything that we have heard from the member for Vasse and other members opposite about more lots not coming onto the market is patently untrue. We are in boom times; we are in extraordinary times. Our government has seen the biggest increase ever in the number of lots coming onto the market. Just in case members opposite did not get the full picture, I have a graph to demonstrate it. Several members interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : I knew that the Deputy Premier might have some chart envy! The blue line on the chart indicates the number of freehold lots created and the pink line indicates the strata lots created. As members can see, the figure starts at a little over 10 000 lots and is now approaching 25 000 lots per annum coming onto the market. It is sensational. I will table not only the chart but also all the figures relating to the release of lots for the period 2000-01 to 2005-06. [See paper 2155.]

Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call to order the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and the member for Roe. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : Members opposite often interject when this kind of matter is raised and suggest that the government somehow was not prepared for the boom and is not delivering the required number of lots onto the market. There has been a rapid increase in the number of lots that have come onto the market and I am very glad that the member for Wanneroo asked this question. There can be no dispute about land title information. In 2000-01, when this government first came to power, just 10 788 freehold green title lots were created across the state. I am pleased to announce that since that time, the government has increased the number of freehold green title lots created to 24 229 in 2005-06. That is not a 100 per cent increase in the number of lots per annum; it is a 125 per cent increase in the number of lots per annum. In 2000-01, 10 788 lots were delivered onto the market; in 2005-06, 24 229 freehold lots were delivered onto the market. Apart from this being an impressive achievement, similar trends have been reflected in the number of strata title lots created. I will give the house the figures for those lots as well. There has been an increase of 88 per cent right across the board, including strata lots and green title lots. A staggering 34 255 lots came onto the market in 2005-06. In 2000-01 there were just 18 229. Everything that we have heard from the member for Vasse and other members opposite about more lots not coming onto the market is patently untrue. We are in boom times; we are in extraordinary times. Our government has seen the biggest increase ever in the number of lots coming onto the market. Just in case members opposite did not get the full picture, I have a graph to demonstrate it. Several members interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : I knew that the Deputy Premier might have some chart envy! The blue line on the chart indicates the number of freehold lots created and the pink line indicates the strata lots created. As members can see, the figure starts at a little over 10 000 lots and is now approaching 25 000 lots per annum coming onto the market. It is sensational. I will table not only the chart but also all the figures relating to the release of lots for the period 2000-01 to 2005-06. [See paper 2155.]
