MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1276

Housing Trust Removalist Contracts

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

(1) Why were Department of Administrative Services (DAS) vehicles, observed recently moving furniture into 22 Mindade Street and 11 Looranah Street Narrabundah (at least on a of which is an ACT Housing Trust property), undertaking this work.

(2) Does DAS regularly act as a removalist for the Trust.

(3) Are removalist contracts for the Trust subject to tender and how often are tenders sought.

(4) If such contracts are not subject to tender, why not.

MR LAMONT - The answer to the Members question is as follows -

(1) The property at 11 Looranah Street, Narrabundah, is an ACT Housing Trust dwelling. The Housing Trust has had no involvement with the use of a DAS vehicle for the alleged purpose concerning this property.

The property at 22 Mindarie Street, Narrabundah, is not owned by the Housing Trust.

(2) No.

(3) Contracts for removalists engaged by the Housing Trust are not subject to a formal tender process, but three quotations are obtained on most occasions.

(4) Contracts for removalist services are not subject to tender because the Housing Trust removes tenants at its own cost on only a few occasions. Removal requirements vary, and the system of obtaining quotations works well.
