Housing-community rooms

(Question No 1014)

Mrs Burke

asked the Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, upon notice:

In relation to community rooms in ACT public housing complexes and further to your reply to Question on Notice No 889:

Further to the nine (9) public housing properties identified, please indicate the precise location, including, if available, a map, of each room within each complex;

In relation to all complexes, which presently do not have such facility, what arrangements, if any, are being made between ACT Housing and the residents at each such location for this situation to be rectified;

If any complex is without a community room owing to ACT Housing's need to provide residential stock to eligible applicants- please identify all such locations; how long has each location been without a community room (for this reason), and when is it proposed that a community room will be provided;

Please indicate, in relation to the nine (9) locations with community rooms, the involvement, if any, of government agencies involved in the Community Linkages program in the use of the community room.
