89 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). (First Session) In reference to the Capital Investment Statement, page 55—Can project details be provided regarding the $2.148 million in proposed expenditure for the purchase, construction and upgrade of community-based disability housing?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

The Disability Housing Program provides a mix of housing upgrades and new build developments for clients living with a disability.

The 2014-15 financial year will see $2.148m allocated towards the following two projects.

Lightsview Transitional Support Apartment

Children's respite facility at Oakland's Park

These projects exceed that figure and are part funded by other budgets.
