Department of Communities 28/08/2020

Government’s commitment to jobs cont’d

• While primarily a ‘jobs package’ to boost the construction industry, a number of important social and economic outcomes will be delivered through SHERP:

• More vulnerable West Australians will have a place to call home including those on the priority waitlist• Inclusive Employment Outcomes • Refurbishment of supported accommodation facilities including residential group home and crisis

accommodation• Liveability, sustainability and accessibility of WA’s social housing stock

• Communities working other government agencies to sequence works to ensure a pipeline of works rather than short term ‘surge’ only.


Governance & accountability

• Independent Oversight Committee with senior representatives from Departments of Premier & Cabinet, Treasury, Finance and Communities.

• Committee will oversee Communities’ housing stimulus programs including: • SHERP• Metronet Social Housing and Jobs Package, and • Housing and Homelessness Investment Package

• Communities’ Finance and Investment Committee strengthened with appointment of John Langoulant as independent chair

• A Senior Working Group established with representatives from across the agency, along with partner agencies as required

• A dedicated Program Office established to oversee programs’ delivery.
