(i) The Department of Communities (Communities) is currently assessing potential site locations for the two Common Ground facilities. The first site will be within the Perth CBD area and second site within a regional/suburban location. It is expected that an announcement will be made in the next 10 - 12 weeks. Once site locations are confirmed, Communities will be able to finalise the construction and development timelines for the first and second sites.
(ii-iii) Construction commencement and completion, along with service commencement dates are currently being defined. Dates for both facilities will be determined once site locations are confirmed.  Estimated dates will be contingent on any limitations which may result from the COVID-19 pandemic.
