 Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:48): (168) My question is for the Minister for Housing. Truemans Road ecovillage in Tootgarook was put into receivership in November 2022, with liquidators appointed in March this year. Residents have been notified that they are required to vacate the property by 2 June and promises of assistance with temporary accommodation have apparently gone unfulfilled. Despite liquidators telling residents they would receive specific offers for their units in due course, it seems increasingly unlikely that offers will be tabled with sufficient time before residents are forced out. There are currently four permanent residents of the park that are facing homelessness in June as a result of the forced end to their leases and a lack of emergency accommodation provisions. I am happy to work with the Minister for Housing; I gave him some more information just before this question. But, for those residents, will the Minister for Housing intervene to ensure that residents of Truemans Road ecovillage have access to emergency accommodations they need?
