MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 211

Housing Trust - Tenant Newsletter and Seminars

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -

In relation to the Housing Trusts Newsletter to Tenants -

(1) Why are copies not provided to Assembly Members following

an undertaking of 10 April 1992 by the Public Affairs Branch

that copies of all public documents produced by Government

agencies would be provided.

(2) Why did the April 1992 edition state a Tenant Participation Information Seminar was successful when it was attended by 100 staff members but only 50 tenants and members of community groups.

(3) Where was the Seminar held and what was its cost.

MR CONNOLLY - The answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) The Public Affairs Branch of Chief Ministers Department has investigated this matter and found that due to an oversight, copies of the Newsletter were not distributed to Assembly Members. The necessary administrative arrangements have been made to ensure that Assembly Members receive copies of public documents in future.

(2) The purpose of the Tenant Participation Information Seminars were

to provide ACT Housing Trust staff, public tenants and members of

community organisations the opportunity to hear how the Tenant

Participation Program operates and what benefits can be expected

from the Program.

While the Newsletter states that 50 tenants and members of community groups attended, these people were in the main representatives of interest groups who have since reported back to wider networks.
