Indigenous housing agreements

6(2) The parties acknowledge and affirm the Council of Australian Governments’ ‘National Commitment to Improved Outcomes in the Delivery of Programs and Services for Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islanders’ of 7 December 1992 which committed the Commonwealth and the States and Territories to the achievement of service delivery agreements, including Indigenous housing agreements. In Grant Years one to five, Indigenous housing agreements will require an annual Indigenous housing plan, including the matters referred to in subclause 6(1)(c), and specific reporting requirements.

6(3) In Grant Years one to five, annual Indigenous housing plans will be based on Building a Better Future: Indigenous Housing to 2010. Plans and performance reports will be informed by a common reporting framework. To assist performance reporting, the Commonwealth and States will improve the availability of nationally consistent and comparable data through the Agreement on National Indigenous Housing Information. Indigenous housing agreements will be cross-referenced with Bilateral Agreements. As far as is possible, specific reporting requirements included in Bilateral Agreements and this Agreement should avoid duplication of reporting requirements contained in the Indigenous housing agreements.
