Answers to Questions

Indigenous and Social Housing

50 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (8 September 2015). In reference to Indigenous and social housing:

1. How much of the South Australian Housing Trust’s investment program has been allocated to remote indigenous and social housing for each of 2014-15 and 2015-16?

2. What projects are being funded and how much is each project receiving through this funding measure?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. The South Australian Housing Trust investment program does not fund capital works in remote Aboriginal communities. Capital works in remote Aboriginal communities are managed by the state government and funded through the commonwealth government, under the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing.

The budget for capital investment in remote Aboriginal communities was $11.3 million in 2014-15 and $11.1 million in 2015-16.

2. The following remote Aboriginal capital programs are being funded during 2014-16 in South Australia:

Capital Works:

$8.2 million for rebuilds; and

$4.8 million for refurbished dwellings.

$9.5 million for the Employment Related Accommodation Program.

The South Australian Housing Trust built 14 houses in 2014-15, which included two properties each at Pooraka, Brahma Lodge, Gilles Plains, Daw Park, Ottoway and Keswick. One property was built in each of the suburbs of Peterhead and Glossop.

In 2015-16 there will be 14 houses built in the suburbs of Angle Park, Clearview (2), Enfield, Greenacres, Morphett Vale (2) Northfield, Seaton, Smithfield Plains and Stirling North. There are also properties which will be built in country locations at Maree, Port Augusta and Whyalla.
