Canberra Government Houses See 4.8 Percent Cost Rise
Canberra government housing costs have risen about 4.8 percent in the past weeks, increasing a three bedroom house price by nearly $600. Over the last 144 months total cost to build a standard three bedroom government house in Canberra now stands at $2,671. The National Capital Development Commission cites wage award adjustments for the hike, following a 20 percent rise earlier in the year. Experimental houses in Macgregor cost about $700 more than brick veneer homes, and tenants are expected to face higher rents as costs climb. The August Budget announced that full economic rents would apply to ACT government housing from the earliest practicable date, with subsidies diminishing.
