The National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing provides funding for the delivery of new housing, upgrades to existing housing, and property and tenancy management reforms in remote Indigenous communities.
Under this agreement 65 homes will be delivered to a number of remote Indigenous communities by June this year. There is also an upgrade program worth more than $18 million for refurbishment of 150 dwellings, the first of which are now being delivered into several communities concurrently.
The repairs and maintenance program commenced in January this year. The program will focus on specific projects for the communities of Woorabinda, Doomadgee, Aurukun, Hope Vale, Wujal Wujal, Napranum, Lockhart River and Palm Island.
