Rental Housing

(Question No 320)

Mr Wood asked the Minister for Health, Housing and Community Care, upon notice, on 5 December 2000:

In relation to the KLA report into the evaluation of the transfer of 200 ACT Housing properties to Community Housing Canberra:

(1) When will the report be released to the public; and

(2) Why is the Auditor - General looking at the findings of the report prior to its public release.

Mr Moore: The answer to the member's question is:

(1) The report prepared by KLA is an internal report to inform the Government of the outcomes of the pilot scheme to transfer 200 properties from public housing to community - based management and to identify areas for improvement or clarification for future transfers.

The Government has not yet had the opportunity to consider the evaluation of the transfer, including the review report prepared by KLA. As soon as the evaluation has been considered by the Government, I would be pleased to make a copy of the KLA report available to interested readers, excluding of course, anything that discusses financial matters that should not be available publicly.

(2) The ACT Auditor General had requested and been provided a copy of the report prepared by KLA. This was provided in the context of accounting policy matters concerning the transfer of assets that had been raised during the evaluation. These matters required further discussion with the Auditor General's office before the evaluation review could be completed.
