In short: Neighbours say they have been denied proper consultation around the plan to convert Fraser Suites in East Perth into 236 social and affordable housing units.

They want the state government to hold Q+A forums so residents' concerns can be heard.

What's next: A reference group will include members of the community to enable ongoing consultation.

    You say that, but I doubt there would be many who would want to live next door to 200+ social housing tenants. I’m sure many of them will be good people fallen on hard times, but you’re going to get a cross section of tenants who aren’t.

    It’s a short term fix that will cause long term social problems for the area. There’s a reason they dont put all the HomesWest houses in one suburb.
