13  Housing Australia can only enter into arrangements where this instrument permits

 (1) Housing Australia must not enter into an arrangement other than in accordance with this instrument.

 (2) Housing Australia must ensure that each arrangement contains such terms and conditions as are necessary to enable it to comply with the requirements of this instrument.

 (3) This instrument does not limit the terms and conditions that Housing Australia may include in an arrangement, except to the extent that those terms and conditions are directly inconsistent with this instrument.

Example 1: Division 2 of Part 3 deals with the “participation requirements” that Housing Australia must include in arrangements. This does not prevent Housing Australia from also including other participation requirements unless they are directly inconsistent with this instrument.

Example 2: If the effect of a provision of this instrument is that an arrangement must require someone to give notice of a particular matter to Housing Australia, this instrument does not prevent the arrangement from specifying the timeframe within which that notice must be given, or requiring the giving of other kinds of notices to Housing Australia, unless doing so would be inconsistent with this instrument.
