2752 - WALLSEND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Water, Property and Housing

Considering The Samaritans Foundation's Rental Affordability Snapshot 2020 indicates that most rental properties remain too expensive and that 500,000 new social and affordable rental properties will be needed across Australia, what new housing infrastructure is being developed across the Wallsend electorate?

 
Answer -

I am advised:

The Government is committed to providing more affordable housing in New South Wales.

In the Wallsend electorate, there have been 40 new social housing dwellings constructed by the Land and Housing Corporation since 2010. Another 46 dwellings are currently in the design and approval phase.

The NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) is developing eight (8) new homes at 48-50 Bousfield Street, Wallsend. The eight homes will comprise:

  • 2 x 2-bed adaptable villas
  • 4 x 3-bed townhouses
  • 2 x 4-bed townhouses

The AHO homes will be completed in June 2021.
