Housing—Hartigan Gardens
(Question No 440)

Mrs Burke asked the Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, upon notice, on 29 June 2005:

(1) In relation to Hartigan Gardens, Gilmore Crescent, Garran, how many (a) tenants currently reside at the complex and (b) units are currently vacant;

(2) What plans, if any, are being developed by Housing ACT to redevelop this site.

Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) (a) There are 11 tenants residing at the complex.

(b) There are 13 units currently vacant.

(2) A Development Application for the site was lodged with the ACT Planning and Land Authority in 2004. The conditional approval to the Development Application significantly reduced the total number of units able to be constructed on the site and increased the average cost per unit across the entire development. This has effectively rendered the original proposal unviable both in economic terms and housing outcomes, and accordingly options for future development of the site are currently under review.
