MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO. 253
Housing Trust Properties - Occupation by
Adult Children of Tenants
MR. CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -
( I ) Does the Housing Trust allow the adult children of Housing Trust
tenants to move into the "family home" upon the death or transfer
of the parent(s).
(2) If so, why is this permitted.
(3) If so, how many such moves have taken place from 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1992.
(4) If so, are such adult children means tested as to their eligibility to be Housing Trust tenants.
MR. CONNOLLY - The answer to the Members question is as follows:
(1) & (2) Yes. Adult children of Housing Trust tenants who are permanent residents in the home at the time of a death or transfer, may have the tenancy transferred to them if they qualify for a dwelling of that size.
In the case of adult children not permanently resident in the dwelling at the time of a death or transfer, they must be registered for public rental housing and eligible for housing of that size. Their application would be dealt with according to normal procedures and they would not necessarily be granted the tenancy of the parental home.
( 3 ) This information is not readily available.
Yes.
