MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY

QUESTION NO. 213

Housing Trust - Fraser Supported Accommodation Property

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -

In relation to the "supported accommodation" property in Fraser, purchased for $190 000 by the ACT Housing Trust -

(1) Why was the property, which was ready for occupation at the time of purchase, left vacant for five months after purchase and what is the estimated loss of rent for that period.

(2) Why was the almost new concrete lawn edging in the backyard broken up by visitors to the property before it was occupied and what action is to be taken to obtain restitution for this damage to government property.

MR CONNOLLY - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) The property was left vacant to comply with consultation requirements for siting supported accommodation in residential areas and to undertake repairs and maintenance prior to occupation.

The estimated rent for the period is $736.80.

(2) The lawn edging was removed by authorised employees of the tenant organisation and there is no requirement for restitution.
