ACT government urged to increase affordable housing targets
READ MORE
It also urged the government to clarify the rationale behind the current targets, and adjust the current land release program to reflect an Assembly motion – originating from the Greens, with Liberal support – to maintain current public housing at 7.1 per cent of total housing stock and increase affordable housing sites.
The report also urged the government to ensure Housing ACT had sufficient resources to take on new land ‘opportunities’ and give the government housing agency enough funding to develop such land, as well as cut land tax rates for community housing providers.
On transport, the committee urged the government to provide more transparency for the second stage of the light rail project, including releasing full costings, releasing all National Capital Authority about it, and providing comprehensive information about the route and alternative options considered, trip duration and frequency.
The Estimates committee also recommended the government committed to continuing a public transport service from Tuggeranong and Woden to the city with equivalent journey times – about 15 to 20 minutes – to the current Blue Rapid us service.
The government has come under concerted criticism from various local community councils about its plans to change, and abolish some, bus services as the light rail starts operating.
