MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NUMBER 1166

Housing Trust - Rent Levels

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -

By what process are rent levels on ACT Housing Trust houses determined.

MR CONNOLLY- The answer to the Members question is as follows:

Rent levels for all Housing Trust properties, including houses, are set at market related levels determined by independent valuation every three years. Adjustments to rents are made annually based on Australian Bureau of Statistics figures on the average increase in market rents. Rents will vary according to inclusions such as carpets, carports and garages, a suburb loading, and deductions are made for some outer wall types, eg. monocrete.
