National Partnership on Remote Indigenous Housing The National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing (NPARIH) aims to address significant overcrowding, homelessness, poor housing conditions and the severe housing shortage in remote Indigenous communities. NPARIH’s capital works programme progress is the key output to address these outcomes. Benchmark| 4200 new houses to be delivered by 2018; 4,800 refurbishments to be delivered by 2014 Progress| On track Figure 33: NPARIH capital works progress, number of new houses and refurbishments, by jurisdiction and progress to target, 2008-2015 Since the commencement of NPARIH to the end of March 2015, a total of 2,662 new houses have been delivered with construction on track to meet the COAG new house target. A total of 7,051 refurbishments have been delivered, considerably exceeding the COAG refurbishment target. Through NPARIH, reforms to tenancy management have resulted in increased amounts of rent charged and collected, ongoing repairs and maintenance programmes and tenant education programmes. Notes: 1. NPARIH notional targets extend to 2014 for refurbishments and to 2018 for new build houses. 2. Vic is not included in these analyses as no Commonwealth funding was provided to Vic under the NPARIH for the construction of new houses or refurbishment of existing stock. Benchmark| 20 per cent local employment to be included as part of procurement requirement for new housing construction Progress| On track NPARIH states and the NT have a 20 per cent Indigenous employment target for capital works. Over the life of NPARIH, all jurisdictions have met or exceeded these targets. In addition, the NT Government has consistently delivered against a 40 per cent Indigenous employment target for property management and a 40 per cent Indigenous employment target for tenancy management.
