$10m maintenance COVID-19 stimulus now complete
A $10 million maintenance boost to more than 1400 ageing public housing properties in South Australia is now complete as part of a major Marshall Liberal Government initiative to support jobs and the economy to the impacts of COVID-19.
Fast-tracked upgrades to the Housing SA properties began in late March 2020, ranging from painting, lighting and roofing upgrades through to significant works including new kitchens and bathrooms – and supported about 160 South Australian jobs.
The $10 million in works is in addition to the SA Housing Authority’s annual $115 million maintenance budget, with the benefit flowing to local tradespeople and businesses and tenants.
