NATIONAL RENTAL
AFFORDABILITY SCHEME
337. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Housing:
I refer to the national rental
affordability scheme, which is coming to an end with the last remaining leases
due to end by mid-2026. Has the government considered offering to acquire the
remaining NRAS properties from private owners or establishing a state
government scheme equivalent to the NRAS?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
The national rental affordability
scheme is a commonwealth initiative. NRAS properties are privately owned and, when sold on the private market, the seller will
not always disclose that the property was formally under the NRAS. The Department of Communities considers all potential
opportunities regarding NRAS properties on a case-by-case basis.
