Particular Issues Related to Refurbishments Sample Clauses

Particular Issues Related to Refurbishments in the Northern Territory‌ Following assessment of existing housing stock prior to works commencing, it became clear the magnitude of the task in many Northern Territory communities was far greater than had been anticipated. Information about the condition of the stock was not always reliable, and much of the stock had deteriorated badly over the years. Significantly, more houses than expected had to be rebuilt or replaced, impacting on the capacity to increase overall numbers of dwellings quickly. Original NPARIH or SIHIP targets for the Northern Territory to June 2013 were: 750 new houses, 230 rebuilds and 2500 refurbishments. Governments were faced with a difficult decision about how best to proceed within the available budget. As a result the overall scope of works was amended to increase the number of rebuilds and accelerate the pace of new house construction. Targets were increased to: 934 new houses and 415 rebuilds by June 2013. To allow work to proceed more quickly, the Commonwealth Government agreed to bring forward an amount of $316.7 million from future NPARIH funding. Refurbishment of houses that were structurally sound was bought into line with overall budget targets and aimed at ensuring a house was brought up to a safe, healthy and secure standard. This could involve a range of work to improve the amenity of the dwelling, from basic electrical and plumbing repairs to tiling and new kitchen and bathrooms facilities. There was generally little scope for non-essential work such as painting. Some tenants in the repaired houses that were not able to be painted expressed disappointment with the finished refurbishment. In the 2012-13 Budget, the Commonwealth agreed to make $230 million available for additional housing work from the Budget for Stronger Futures activities in the Northern Territory. This was specifically for work in smaller communities, many in the centre and south of the territory. It will enable more comprehensive refurbishments in those communities, including essential safe, healthy and secure repairs and painting. There will also be further work undertaken to replace existing dwellings considered beyond economic repair. Note: Western Australia faced some similar issues to the Northern Territory, in that a significant proportion of NPARIH new houses were replacements of existing stock, rather than additions. This was due to the poor condition of existing stock, which had previously not been well known.
