some notice of the question. As a reminder for the second time this week,
member, I represent the Minister for Housing in this chamber and have done for
some time. The following response has been provided by the Minister for
Housing.
(1) The
goldfields region of the Department of Communities includes the following local
government areas: Shire of Coolgardie, Shire of Dundas, Shire of Esperance,
City of Kalgoorlie–Boulder, Shire of Laverton, Shire of Leonora, Shire of Menzies, Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku and the
Shire of Ravensthorpe. Additionally , there are three Government Regional
Officers' Housing properties in the Shire of East Pilbara that are
administered from the goldfields region, as it is logistically easier due to
their remoteness, and they are included in this count.

number of state-managed residential dwellings was 1 269. This includes 652
