Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Housing SA HOUSING SA The Hon. K.L. VINCENT Legislative Council HOUSING SA The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:37): Supplementary. Given that, if I hear correctly, there are some 1,000 houses currently untenanted and that the majority of those are undergoing what I think the minister termed minor modification before reallocation, would the minister consider making them available to people with disabilities to clear the category 1 waiting list for accommodation? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion Minister for Social Housing Minister for Disabilities Minister for Youth Minister for Volunteers HOUSING SA The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:37): That just would not be appropriate. Those houses would be waiting to be tenanted; they may be undergoing refurbishment, they may be waiting for large redevelopment, they may be going up for sale. To make them available for people with disabilities I imagine would require a large amount of upgrades and changes to the stock to allow, for example, for wider corridors or wider doors and ramps to allow people to use wheelchairs, or other alterations to make them safe and useable for people with disabilities. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wade has a supplementary.
