Peak bodies for community services, housing and homelessness in WA welcome today’s WA Government announcement on much-needed reforms to short-term rental accommodation.
It’s imperative that housing delivered under these reforms is affordable, diverse, and high-quality, no matter the size or location.
The data reiterates the need for ongoing and significant co-investment by state and federal governments to increase the stock of social and affordable housing.
Shelter WA congratulates the McGowan Government on its fourth budget. Having a safe and secure home and building the homes so nobody is left behind is critical not only to keeping everybody safe but to drive economic and social recovery.
Additional $30 million boost to the Building Bonus program to meet the higher than expected demand for the successful COVID-19 stimulus measure.
The package includes $117 million for $20,000 Building Bonus grants and $8.2 million for the expansion of the 75 per cent off-the-plan transfer duty rebate scheme.
Shelter WA is pleased to see that the State Government has responded positively to the recommendations of the inquiry into short-stay accommodation.
Shelter WA appeared at the Legislative Assembly’s Economics and Industry Standing Committee’s Inquiry into Short-Stay Accommodation to outline its submission to Members of the Committee conducting an inquiry.
