Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 5 Hansard (9 May) . . Page.. 1510 ..

(2)(b) In 2002/03 ACT Housing estimates that it will sell 134 dwellings at public auction and 42 dwellings to tenants in occupation. Dwellings sold at public auction must have first been vacated by the tenants. It is not possible to predict when properties will become vacant and be subsequently sold in the coming financial year. Dwellings sold to tenants are based on successful application of the tenants to purchase their ACT Housing dwelling. Once again, it is not possible to predict where successful sales to tenants will occur in 2002/03.

(3) ACT Housing stock as at 30 April 2002

(a) 2,960

(b) 1,454

(c) 1,647

(d) 3,116

(e) 2,253

(4) Except for sales to tenants, sales of single houses are normally only undertaken when the property becomes vacant or the tenant moves of his/her own volition. In other cases, tenants are offered relocation at ACT Housing's expense to suitable alternative accommodation in the tenants' area of choice. Where a large multi-unit site needs to be vacated, a dedicated on-site team is provided for tenants.
