Waiting Times

Waiting times generally remained stable over the reporting period as the number of applicants added to the list closely corresponded to the number who left, either as the result of being allocated a home or not pursuing their applications.

There were, however, fluctuations in waiting times for flats in Belconnen due to the progressive withdrawal of tenants from Melba Flats. This situation is expected to stabilise as the relocation winds down.

Table 3 illustrates the current waiting times in preferred locations and housing types.
