Housing Waiting Lists

(Question No. 173)

Mr Wood asked the Minister for Urban Services, upon notice:

In relation to ACT Housing, for each of the following dwelling types:

(a) two bedroom house;

(b) three bedroom house;

(c) four bedroom house;

(d) bedsitter flat;

(e) 1 bedroom flat;

(f) 2 bedroom flat;

(g) 1 bedroom aged persons unit; and

(h) 2 bedroom aged persons unit.

What is the median wait-turn time, by each regional office area, as at (1) 28 February 1999 and (2) 31 May 1999.

Mr Smyth: The answer to the Member's questions is as follows:

ACT Housing has not historically produced reports that provide the median wait-turn. On a quarterly basis, ACT Housing reports average wait times for properties allocated in the previous twelve months, by each regional office, for each dwelling type. For the purpose of this question ACT Housing has generated the figures for the dates requested.

(1) See table below for the median wait time (months) for properties allocated in the 12 months to 28 February 1999 by regional office and the above dwelling types.
