Public Housing

543 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (22 June 2021). How many public housing homes have had maintenance completed on their home in the past 12 months from 1 July 2020?

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:

31,657 SA Housing Authority properties had maintenance works completed during 2020-21.

This included a significant number of properties that had capital upgrades and preventative maintenance completed as part of the Marshall Liberal government’s record investment in maintenance and renewed focus on strategic and planned maintenance.

Urgent maintenance identified through this government’s Asset Condition Inspection program was also undertaken, as we begin to address the maintenance backlog left by the former Labor government.
