MALTARRA ROAD, MUNNO PARA

In reply to the Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (19 June 2008).

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs): The Minister for Housing has provided the following information:

In June 2008 a Housing SA representative personally visited the site and hand delivered letters to each tenant's letterbox which informed them of the type of work that was to be carried out.

The only complaint received about this work was received from a resident of Maltarra Road on 18 June 2008. As a result, the maintenance coordinator explained in further detail the reasons for the work and Housing SA's intentions.

Housing SA is increasing their focus on upgrading medium density sites which are to be retained.

This program aims to create housing that provides users with a sense of security and ownership. Achieving environments and homes that maximise safety and security is facilitated by a range of approaches that interplay to influence people's behaviour and attitudes towards one another, their own and other people's property and the immediate area in which they live.

These sites have been approved as part of the program and the work to be carried out on these sites includes upgrading of the public lighting, resurfacing of roadways and the installation of permitter fencing.
