Public housing—Waitlist
929. Hon Tim Clifford to
the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Housing and Works:
I refer to the wait
turn and priority public housing waitlist, noting that potential double
counting is present in the response.
(1) How many applications were on the public
housing waitlist at the end of September 2025 and how many individual
applicants does that represent?
(2) How many applications were on the public
housing priority waitlist at the end of September 2025 and how many individual
applicants does that represent?
(3) How many
applicants exited the waitlist due to being placed in social housing during
2025?
(4) Of those, how many were from the priority
list?
