HOUSING — HEART
OF BEACONSFIELD DEVELOPMENT
36. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Housing:
I
refer to the Heart of Beaconsfield housing development, in particular the
vacant blocks and boarded houses between South Street, Lefroy Road,
Caesar Street and Fifth Avenue.
(1) How many lots
are owned by the state government?
(2) Of the lots
owned by the state government, how many are vacant land, unoccupied houses and
occupied houses?
(3) Why has there
been no redevelopment since demolition started in 2017?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
(1)–(3) The
state government is continuing to progress significant redevelopment and
renewal projects to make way for new housing and improve the quality,
affordability, diversity and amenity of social housing stock. The state
government owns 41 lots within the area bound by South Street, Lefroy Road,
Caesar Street and Fifth Avenue. Social housing tenants are progressively and
sensitively reallocated from properties earmarked for redevelopment to allow
for staged demolition and redevelopment of the site. As the reallocations of
the existing social housing tenants at the Beaconsfield site occur, the state
government is advancing detailed planning for the site and a staged delivery of
the redevelopment. The state government will make further announcements on the
project in due course.
