9. The ACT Government is currently delivering its second major public housing renewal program through the Growing and Renewing Public Housing Plan. The program is focused on more efficient use of land assets, concentrating on single, detached public housing properties, to deliver the right mix of social infrastructure needed to house vulnerable members of our community, now and into the future.
As part of that program, funding has been allocated for early investigations into some of our remaining high-concentration, multi-unit sites to inform a range of options that deliver better social outcomes on those sites.
The range of investigations will help better understand the unique opportunities and constraints of each location, including consideration of heritage issues, social needs, fire and engineering assessments, safety audits and architectural studies.
An options paper for the first investigations, including Havelock House, is being prepared. Investigations on Ainslie Village have not commenced.
10. There are no future steps beyond what has been outlined in question nine. Once the options are received, government will assess these for future consideration and appropriate engagement. Any options identified for further exploration would be subject to standard future budget processes.
11. No.
