HOUSING DIVERSITY
PIPELINE
1540. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the minister representing the
Minister for Housing:
I
refer to the housing diversity pipeline and note that the state government had
previously shortlisted offers on six sites, which have now become four
sites.
(1) How many
expressions of interest were received for each shortlisted site?
(2) How many
proposals in (1) are being progressed?
(3) For each of
the sites, what is the number of social housing dwellings expected to be
delivered?
(4) For each of
the sites, when are the dwellings expected to be built?
(5) Why has the
number of shortlisted sites dropped from six in August to four in November?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
(1)–(5) The
pilot housing diversity pipeline aims to unlock ''lazy'' land and
bring it to the market for medium and high-density
housing developments with a social and affordable housing component. As
previously advised , the state
government received 41 expressions of interest across the nine sites released
to the market. Not all sites are developable given current market
constraints, but they will continue to be considered for redevelopment into the
future. Further information will be provided at the conclusion of the
competitive procurement process.
