I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I provide the following information on behalf of
the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Housing.
(1)–(4) The
McGowan government is investing $2.4 billion in social housing and homelessness
over four years. Through this investment, we are delivering the new $12.8
million building condition assessment program, which will see over 10 000
social housing assets assessed across Western Australia.
The information gathered during the
BCA program is to future inform investment planning across the housing
portfolio and help forecast future required works to keep housing stock viable
and in the system for years to come. These assessments are in addition to
regular property inspections undertaken by the Department of Communities when
maintenance requirements are regularly reported.
