MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 1380
Ainslie Village - Mana-gement Arrangements
MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -
(1) What arrangement has been reached with Centacare for the management of Ainslie Village and can details be made available to interested parties, including myself.
(2) Will all 16 recommendations and all parts thereof of the Kelly Report into Ainslie Village be implemented; and if so, in what time-frame.
(3) If not all recommendations are to be implemented, why not and which ones will not be implemented.
MR LAMONT - The answer to the Member's question is as follows -
(1) The Housing Trust has entered into arrangements with Centacare to provide management at Ainslie Village for an interim period of six months. A service agreement under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP) and a Deed of Sub Lease have been signed for the period from 17 August to 31 December 1994. Expressions of interest will be sought for a permanent change of auspice at Ainslie Village within this interim period.
An advisory committee has been formed with representation from Centacare, the ACT Trades and Labour Council, the Ainslie Village Independent Residents Association, the Friends of the Village, Ainslie Village staff, the Housing Trust and the Commonwealth Department of Housing and Regional Development. The committee will provide strategic direction and advice during the interim management period at Ainslie Village and will be provided with relevant documents. While general details of the arrangements can be made publicly available, copies of the above documents remain confidential.
(2) The advisory committee's responsibilities include determining which recommendations of the Kelly Report are still appropriate to be implemented with the introduction of new management arrangements at Ainslie Village.
(3) See answer (2) above.
