Disabled persons—housing
(Question No 1015)
Mrs Burke asked the Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, upon notice, on 28 March 2006:
In relation to the report entitled Raising Our Voice, has Housing ACT taken any steps to implement Estate Agreements between the Department and any of the multi-unit complexes in the ACT; if so, (a) at which complexes has this occurred and (b) what success has Housing ACT had with the implementation of improved standards of service to these multi-unit complexes and enforcing the obligations of tenants to abide by their tenancy agreements with the Department.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Recommendation 2.2 of “Raising our Voice” was to establish multi-unit site agreements. This issue has been referred to the Joint Champions Group for advice, in line with the department’s response to the Raising Our Voice recommendations. To date the Joint Champions Group has not identified this recommendation as a short-term priority.
