On the 25 September 2009, Housing Ministers agreed to the development of a public discussion paper to consider community housing regulation and growth. Advice from State and Territory governments and other key stakeholders informed the development of this Discussion Paper.
The Paper puts forward options for potential reforms of not-for-profit housing in Australia, looking at ways to better support and sustain the future growth of the sector. The release of the Paper marks the start of a comprehensive public consultation process. Individuals and groups are encouraged to provide their views on the issues raised. All feedback will be carefully considered in the development of the Government’s response.
