Cairns Housing Loan Offer Angers Ratepayers
The Cairns City Council faced criticism after rejecting a Treasury backed proposal to borrow £36000 for a housing scheme. Officials explained that even if accepted, ratepayers would incur £1000 per house in initial interest and £270000 more before any repayment, while the plan would position the council as agent for the Queensland Housing Commission rather than forging a standalone loan. The discussion clarified that local authorities act as agents to obtain loan funds and oversee building plans under commission supervision.
