Community housing
Dr CUMMING (Western Metropolitan) (11:42): My question is for the Minister for Housing in the other place. How many first-round grants have been approved for community housing agencies for shovel-ready development in the Western Metropolitan Region? In the 2020–21 budget the government announced a $5.3 billion investment in social and affordable housing as part of the big build. This included $1.38 billion for the Social Housing Growth Fund to provide grants to the community housing sector. The first round of funding was to provide grants to community housing agencies for shovel-ready development and construction, so how many have been shovel ready in Western Metropolitan Region?
Ms STITT (Western Metropolitan—Minister for Workplace Safety, Minister for Early Childhood) (11:43): I thank Dr Cumming for her detailed question and her interest in these matters, and I will certainly refer that to the Minister for Housing for a written response in accordance with the standing orders.
Dr CUMMING (Western Metropolitan) (11:43): Thank you, Minister. Can the minister please advise when the first-round construction projects will be completed for Western Metropolitan tenants to move into? The increasing cost of living and rental prices are forcing more people in my constituency into needing social housing. With approximately 12 000 people in the west on the social housing waiting list, we need these projects completed, not just promises on paper. I have far too many people in my community either living in cars or couch surfing or sitting on the social housing waiting list. They need these houses now, and they need this government to actually make it a priority in the western suburbs.
Ms STITT (Western Metropolitan—Minister for Workplace Safety, Minister for Early Childhood) (11:44): I am sure that the Minister for Housing will be happy to detail the very strong pipeline of infrastructure in social housing that will be available to residents of the Western Metropolitan Region as part of his big build.
