"The State Government has completed a comprehensive audit of the location and condition of all Aboriginal housing in outback Western Australia. Conducted in consultation with the Commonwealth, it has provided the State with a detailed database to help plan formal maintenance programs and aid in the development of improved indigenous housing policies. Four audit teams took six months to physically inspect 2,400 houses in 130 remote Aboriginal communities spread throughout the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne and Goldfields regions."
