Affordable Housing

274 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (13 October 2020). Regarding the loss of public housing dwellings in the SA Neighbourhood Renewal Program Woodville Gardens project, why is there a reduction in the number of public housing dwellings when the total number of dwellings increases?

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

There is no net loss of social housing in the SA Neighbourhood Renewal Program Woodville Gardens project. The Woodville Gardens project will replace 21 dwellings that are in poor condition and no longer fit for purpose with 60 new social housing dwellings that better meet the needs of current and future tenants. It will also introduce a more diverse tenure mix into inner city locations.
