Assessment of Economic Viability of Delivery Options and Pilot Sites under the Community Housing Strategy

About

Department of Territory Families, Housing and Communities awarded a contract to Paxon Consulting Group Pty Ltd as trustee for the Paxon Consulting Group Trust for assessing the economic viability of delivery options and pilot sites under the Community Housing Strategy.

The consultant identified potential delivery models for the Urban Growth Stream, including transfer of public housing dwellings, land, cash grants, and head leasing programs to Community Housing Providers in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, Tennant Creek, and Alice Springs.

The assessment evaluated impacts on repairs and maintenance liability, asset renewal, new supply, cost-effectiveness for government, financial viability for providers, and economic stimulus, informed by policy instruments such as Commonwealth Rent Assistance, RBA monetary policy, National Housing and Homelessness Agreement, NHFIC instruments, taxation policy, and macro-prudential regulation.
