HOUSING SA, CEDUNA

In reply to Mr TRELOAR (Flinders) (25 June 2012).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised that during 2010-11 minor works were carried out at the facility which included several concrete pathways, external improvements and interior painting of the administration building, and a replacement commercial stove/cooker. The cost of this work totalled $21,700.

The scope of a current review will help inform future requirements and subsequent capital expenditure at the facility in future financial years.

Regular day-to-day maintenance will continue to be carried out on an as-needs basis to ensure that appropriate accommodation, health and safety standards satisfy relevant regulatory requirements. The budgeted operating expense of the facility in 2011-12 was $1,162,098. This has increased to $1,191,150 in the 2012-13 financial year.
