Municipal services—fix my street

Mr Ramsay (in reply to a supplementary question by Ms Lee on Thursday, 30 November 2017):

The new fix my street portal was designed to reduce duplicate jobs from being reported by providing simple information to the relevant business unit responsible. Urgent active jobs are still visible and, although logged jobs are removed after 90 days from the displayed map, they are still active in the system until closed by the responsible business unit. This is done to ensure internet performance is optimal when using all devices, including mobile phones, when reporting municipal issues.

Housing—affordable housing scheme

Ms Berry (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Mrs Jones on Thursday, 30 November 2017):

ACT Government analysis of mortgage serviceability indicates that for households earning $100,000, an affordable mortgage would enable the purchase of a home with a sale price of up to $483,000.

In 2016-17, 892 detached houses were settled for $483,000 or below in the ACT. This represents 19.7 per cent of all detached houses settled in 2016-17. In the first four months of 2017-18, 213 detached houses were settled for $483,000 or below in the ACT. This represents 15.3 per cent of all detached houses settled in this time period.

Ms Fitzharris (in reply to a question by Ms Le Couteur on Thursday, 30 November 2017):

A bus service arriving at a stop when it is not displayed on NXTBUS, may have occurred due to a number of operational factors including driver sign on time, driver selection of next trip, on road diversions or other associated operational issues.
