The Housing Authority advises:
(a) The change to the method by which the Housing Authority calculates public housing rent will apply to all tenancies who receive government subsidised rent. This will apply to approximately 28,000 tenancies on 28 March 2016 and approximately 3,000 additional tenancies during 2016.
(b) The recently announced changes to public housing rent calculations are estimated to generate additional revenue of around $3.5 million in 2015-16, and around $16 million in 2016-17.
