Housing authority planned for ACT and Canberra
The Government approved establishing a statutory housing authority for the ACT. Minister Hunt said the National Capital Development Commission will handle house construction for the new authority, while housing duties now scattered across Canberra departments will be centralized. The authority will have a full-time chairman and four part-time members, with appointments representing groups and special qualifications. The move follows calls from the Victorian Housing Commission and inter-departmental reviews, and aims to abolish the Commissioner for Housing in about 18 months.
