I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
(1)–(2) Our
government welcomes any alternative form of construction to deliver housing in
an efficient and cost-effective manner to Western Australians. We have an open
call for submissions for social housing, inviting
submissions from the housing sector to deliver social housing in Perth or
regional Western Australia, with a priority on the delivery of apartment
or group dwelling developments.
