Public Housing

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding housing:

1. Can the minister advise how many new South Australian Housing Authority homes are planned to be built this financial year?

2. How many privately owned rental houses exist in South Australia at the present time, and are these increasing or declining?

3. How many privately owned rental houses are leased by SA Housing Authority?

4. How many privately owned rental homes does the government expect from the build to rent scheme proposed in this year's budget?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:56): The answer to the first question is probably between 150 to 200. The answer to the second question about the number of properties in the private rental market I don't know but I will need to see whether we have that data or whether that actually sits within the CBS within the Attorney-General's portfolio. Sorry, what were your last two questions?

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: How many privately owned rental houses exist in South Australia at the present time, and are these increasing or declining?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: I don't know the answer to that one.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: The third one: how many privately owned rental houses are leased by the South Australian Housing Authority?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: The answer to that one I think is zero, but I will get a response from the agency just to double-check.
