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.

The argument that short-term suites are not really suited to long-term living is fair. Do these suites have proper kitchens with ovens? Laundry nooks? Or are we going to have a shared laundromat on the ground costing $20 to do your weekly washing?

The rest is pure Nimbyism. If the government actually adapts these dwellings for safe and stable housing, it can only be a win.
