MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1406

Housing Trust - Rent Receipts

MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -Why is it not possible to provide information requested in question on notice No. 1191 in relation to actual rent received from different types of dwellings owned by the ACT Housing Trust.

MR LAMONT - The answer to the Members question is as follows -

The ACT Housing Trust records rent received from tenants against their individual rent account numbers. The account number does not identify the type of housing they occupy. The computer system does not provide a cross-match between account number and types of housing so as to enable a report to be generated. To provide the answer would involve the diversion of considerable resources which I do not believe is justified at this stage. Further enhancements on the computer system could allow this information to be reported on. These enhancements will be programmed for development if the information presented in that form would advance the operation of the Housing Trust.
