I refer to the media statement published 23 November 2021, 'The McGowan Government is forging ahead with the revitalisation of the Hilton suburb with 32 new timber frame homes for social housing,' which stated "all 32 homes due to be completed by late 2022," specifically the 18 homes designed through the Department of Communities' Design and Construct Panel, and I ask: (a) how many of the 18 homes have begun construction; (b) how many of the 18 homes have been completed; (c) how many of the 18 homes are still under construction; (d) how many of the 18 homes haven't begun construction; (e) how many of the 18 homes have been tenanted; (f) for the houses in (d), when will construction begin; (g) for the houses in (d), what is the anticipated completion date; (h) for the houses in (c), what is the anticipated completion date; (i) has the Western Australian (WA) Government sold any of the sites that were meant for the 18 homes, and if yes, how many and when did this occur; and (j) how much money has the WA Government spent delivering these homes, to date?
