Housing SA, Vacant Properties

1452 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (24 September 2019). What are the current number of habitable Housing SA properties that are vacant; and what are the addresses for these properties?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:

As at 31 August 2019, there were 374 vacant SA Housing Authority properties that were available for tenanting. These properties were going through an offer process.

The authority considers that releasing the addresses of vacant properties would increase the likelihood of these properties being targeted and open to vandalism, squatting, theft, damage and other illegal activity. This heightens risk to the welfare and safety of its tenanted properties.
