MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION N0.1194

Housing Trust - Rent Arrears

MR. CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -In relation to your reply to Question on Notice No 937 that, at 30 June 1993, some $2,085,577 was outstanding in ACT Housing Trust current accounts -

(1) How much of this money has now been repaid.

(2) How much at 31 December 1993 is outstanding in

(a) current; (b) vacated accounts.

(3) At 31 December 1993 how many (a) vacated; (b)

current accounts totalled - (i) $10,000 or more;

(ii) $5000-$9,999; (iii) $1,000-$4,999; and (iv) below

$1000.

(4) How many properties are represented in (2).

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

(1) The amount repaid against each account outstanding at

30 June 1993 is not readily available because it would require a

review of every individual account in debt at that time, and a

comparison to the current state of the accounts. This would

involve the allocation of a considerable level of

resources which are currently dedicated to other tasks.

(2) (a) The value of current account arrears at 4 March 1994 was

$2,021,467 and at 31 December 1993 was $2,439,884. However,

this latter figure is a cyclical distortion due to the

Christmas/New Year period as agencies which receive

payments from Housing Trust tenants are closed during this

period and money received by agencies immediately prior to

this period may not have been processed.

(b) $3,109,647 - vacated accounts.
