Attachment 1

Mr

Allawah Court

BRADDON ACT 2612

Dear Mr

I am writing to let you know about the ACT Government's decision on the future of the Currong Apartments, which are next to your residence.

Currong will no longer be retained for public housing.

I am aware that this decision may cause some concern about your future as a tenant of Allawah or Bega Court so I am writing to assure you that your tenancy will not be changed, nor the rights and responsibilities you have now.

As you know Allawah and Bega Courts have recently been upgraded and the Government has no intention of disposing of these properties, hence there will be no change.

The Government has not taken this decision lightly. We have carefully considered the views of many of the Currong residents - expressed through a survey in April and May this year - as well as the important issues of safety and the very high cost of addressing the poor condition of the complex.

The building will be sold or redeveloped.

This means that tenants at Currong Apartments will need to be relocated as soon as suitable properties are identified, a process that's expected to take some 12 months.

If you have any questions concerning the decision on the Currong Apartments, or your current tenancy, please contact Enver Haskic at Housing ACT on telephone 6207 5091 (Allawah) or Ian Kyle on 6207 1007 (Bega).

Yours sincerely

Bill Wood MLA

Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services
