New housing land authority proposed for ACT

A draft ordinance to establish an ACT housing and land authority would take over government housing and develop land and housing loans. The assembly deferred consideration, but Minister Bryant urged rapid establishment. The authority would manage ACT housing, build and sell houses, and issue loans to individuals and cooperatives, financed by Commonwealth or private loans. It could use the National Capital Development Commission as design and construction agent and would employ public service staff. The body would consist of a chairman and four members, two elected members and a representative from Ned. The proposal has broad political support with calls for urgent action to centralize housing operations and set rent and loan rates at the lowest practicable levels.
