Community Housing

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (7 May 2014).

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

The successful tenderers will be responsible for the payment of council rates. Contracts between Housing SA and the providers will include a clause that prevents them from seeking Council Rate Remissions under the Local Government Act 1999.
