Build To Rent Program

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome) (15:54): Supplementary to the minister: you indicate in this press release that the state's first initiative to deliver new rental homes is not restricted to metropolitan Adelaide.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:54): I'm not entirely sure which is being referred to, but the Build to Rent program is a financial incentive through the Treasurer's office. In relation to the public housing that the Minister for Human Services is overseeing, there is a massive rollout in relation to public housing.

I am not quite sure which press release one is reading from. If it's the Build to Rent program, it's via the Treasurer and it's a land tax provision. If it's a provision of housing for the purposes of the affordable housing program, that's under the supervision of the Minister for Human Services, the Hon. Michelle Lensink. The member is nodding, so I will make some inquiries in relation to access to that. In specific terms, if there are dwellings available, how many are being allocated to Port Pirie? Is that the gist of the question? I will make that inquiry.
