Questions On Notice Questions on notice are usually asked when a more detailed answer is required and are in writing, and are forwarded by the Clerk of the Parliament to the relevant Minister who prepares a written answer which is presented to Parliament.
Mr LAWLOR asked the Minister for Public Works, Housing and Information and Communication Technology (MR SCHWARTEN) -
QUESTION:
Will the Minister advise how many bond loans have been provided to residents of the Southport Electorate during the current and previous financial years and the value of
these bond loans?
ANSWER:
A significant barrier to people accessing private rental is payment of the bond. The bond required is usually equivalent to four weeks' rent. The Department of Housing offers a Bond Loan which is an interest free loan to assist eligible Queenslanders who cannot afford to pay the full bond to move into private rental accommodation. The table below provides details of the value of bond loans to residents of the Southport Electorate from 1 July 2004 to 31 October 2007.
