Communities does not own or lease properties in remote Aboriginal communities. However, it is responsible for the commissioning of a range of services, including housing management and maintenance, on behalf of the State, through a variety of formal and informal arrangements. (b) [See Tabled Paper No. ] that provides the number of void properties by days and suburb. Properties may be untenanted for a number of reasons, including if the property is undergoing maintenance works, is being redeveloped, there are planned refurbishment works, or the property is up for sale. (c) [See Tabled Paper No. ] for the number of properties constructed and acquired by Communities in the last five years. Communities is unable to disclose the addresses of any tenants, public housing, GROH or otherwise due to privacy and confidentiality obligations. (d) Communities’ Maintenance Budget for public housing and GROH is allocated by Region. The tables below provides maintenance expenditure on public housing and GROH for the Goldfields Region. This includes the Shires of Coolgardie, Dundas, Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Laverton, Leonora, Menzies, Wiluna and Esperance. Maintenance Expenditure – Public Housing – Goldfields Region 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 Public Housing Maintenance Expenditure $6,397,795.80 $7,287,632.83 $7,385,506.64 Public Housing Maintenance Work Orders 29, 758 34, 121 27, 443 Note: M aintenance work orders include all work orders categories completed for public housing and GROH. Maintenance Expenditure – GROH Housing – Goldfields Region 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 GROH Maintenance Expenditure $3,204,386.44 $3,190,198.66 $4,020,694.80 GROH Maintenance Work Order 7,480 9,662 7,752 Note: M aintenance work orders include all work orders categories completed for public housing and GROH. (e) [See Tabled Paper No. ] that provides a total of Government Regional Officer Housing (GROH) properties in each local government area. (f) Communities is unable to disclose the addresses of any tenants, public housing, GROH or otherwise due to privacy and confidentiality obligations. However, with respect to GROH properties in the requested local government areas: 78% of GROH properties have 3 or more bedrooms, and 69% of GROH properties are less than 20 years old. (g) Communities monitors the occupancy rates of its GROH properties as part of its ongoing business and adjusts its portfolio, by utilising both GROH owned stock and leasing properties from the private market, to best respond to current and future demand under the program. Some of the reasons a GROH property may be vacant are: the district/town being in decline due to economic factors, resulting in fewer public servants being ‘posted’ to the location; being poorly located in the district/town; the property is of poor amenity and state of repair, or otherwise unlettable; the availability of properties that can be leased by public sector employees from the private market, making a GROH owned property less attractive; the property being on the market for sale; and/or the property is being refurbished or upgraded.
