New Publications NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING RENTAL COMPANY The Territory Government is establishing a new Aff ordable Housing Rental Company, which will provide rental housing to low to moderate income households at an aff ordable level. The new company will: operate as a non-government en ty provide quality and aff ordable rental to medium and low income Territorians fi ll the gap between the public and private housing markets seek to u lise the Na onal Rental Aff ordability Scheme. An Aff ordable Housing Rental Company is a semi-commercial opera on opera ng at arms length from government. Government seeds the company by providing it with money, stock or land and it partners with the private sector or develops its own stock. Over me, the company is expected to receive suffi cient rental income to be self-sustaining. Expressions of interest to establish and run the company closed in April this year. Preferred respondents have been short-listed and will soon be invited to submit a detailed proposal. A contract is expected to be awarded by the end of December 2010. REMOTE PUBLIC HOUSING Work is underway on the construc on program for remote public housing in the Territory is underway in 30 communi es. Sustainable employment and training outcomes for Indigenous people are a key part of this program and more than 250 local Indigenous people are currently employed in its delivery.

A total of 347 refurbishments and rebuilds are now complete while a further 78 refurbishments and rebuilds are under way. (Note sta s cs accessed in July 2010).
