SOCIAL
HOUSING — INVESTMENT PACKAGES
855. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the minister representing the

In
December 2019, the Premier and the Minister for Housing announced the $150 million
housing investment package, which, among several other objectives, would
build 300 new social homes. In June, in response to COVID-19, a further $444 million
in housing stimulus, which includes 250 new social housing builds, was
