          <by role="member" id="3123">The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers):</by>  I have been advised:</text>
        <text id="20131112919ea22c2aa74bd980000441">1.&amp;#x9;When the property and tenancy management of public housing properties identified through the Better Places, Stronger Communities program is transferred to community housing providers on 1 January 2015, the properties will be classified as community housing.</text>
        <text id="20131112919ea22c2aa74bd980000442">2.&amp;#x9;On 13 December 2012, Housing SA intervened in La Luna Housing Co-operative under the <term>South Australian Co-operative and Community Housing Act 1991</term>. La Luna Housing Co-operative was ordered to transfer five properties and tenants who were in dispute with the co-operative to another registered housing organisation. On 24 April 2013, La Luna Housing Co-operative successfully appealed Housing SA's intervention with the Public and Community Housing Appeal Panel.</text>
        <text id="20131112919ea22c2aa74bd980000443">Three of the tenants have found alternative housing outside of La Luna Housing Co-operative with the remaining two tenants having their membership revoked, with the decision to put them on a six month fixed term tenancy. It is understood both these tenants will be seeking support from the Tenancy and Information Services (TIAS) to appeal this decision with the Public and Community Housing Appeal Panel. There is no cost involved in engaging the support of TIAS, and there is no cost in appealing the decision of La Luna Housing Co-operative with the Public and Community Housing Appeal Panel.</text>
