Housing—unit titles
(Question No 1044)

Mr Seselja asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice, on 30 March 2006:

(1) What is the desired time frame for having unit titles registered for (a) multi unit developments and (b) dual occupancy dwellings;

(2) What was the average time taken for having unit titles registered in (a) 2002-03 and (b) 2005-06 for (i) multi unit developments and (ii) dual occupancy dwellings;

(3) What was the length of time taken for each registration for those applications that exceeded the average time taken in 2005-06 for (a) multi unit developments and (b) dual occupancy dwellings;

(4) What action is being taken to minimise the delays associated with unit title registrations to reduce the registration application time frame.

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