Southern Metropolitan Region
Katherine COPSEY (Southern Metropolitan) (12:57): (763) My question is for the Minister for Housing and concerns a constituent of mine, Roza. I have written to the minister recently to inquire about Roza’s application for transfer. She is a public housing tenant, and she has a son Akmel who lives with multiple disabilities. Akmel has a physical disability, an autism spectrum diagnosis and difficulty breathing and a condition that is required to be managed in relation to that which is overseen by the children’s hospital. Roza applied for and was approved for a public housing transfer in 2019. Their house currently is inaccessible for Akmel without support. He requires full assistance because they have to navigate multiple flights of stairs each day to get into and out of their house. My question, Minister, is: when will new housing be provided as a result of that housing transfer?
