Land Reform. ‌ As the Coordinator-General for Remote Indigenous Service Delivery identifies, the absence of mainstream land use planning regimes or other investment safeguards, such as building codes and consumer warranty protections, has resulted in poorly planned and constructed communities2. Progressively resolving tenure issues on community-titled land is required to secure government and commercial investment and to enable opportunities for private home ownership and economic development. For government investment in social housing, long term leases are required to enable secure management of the housing stock. Each jurisdiction has approached this issue differently in view of the diverse range of legislative arrangements in place at the state level, which can underpin land reform. There has been significant progress across jurisdictions in negotiating long-term leases or similar instruments to enable social housing investment. Resolving land reform issues to support private home ownership and economic and commercial investment has proved more complex and will require greater focus in the second half of the NPARIH. There are some emerging home ownership developments, particularly in NSW and Queensland.

Land Reform. ‌ Output (g): progressive resolution of land tenure on remote community-titled land in order to secure government and commercial investment, economic development opportunities and home ownership possibilities in economically sustainable communities. In the report of September 2011, the Coordinator-General for Remote Indigenous Service Delivery highlighted the urgent need for land reform in remote Indigenous communities. In describing the situation in RSD communities the report said: ‘(the) communities have not been subject to mainstream land use planning regimes or other investment safeguards, including building codes and consumer warranty protections. This has resulted in poorly planned and constructed communities and contributed to the many shortcomings in infrastructure, housing and service provision. It is important that normal government regulation that applies in non- Indigenous communities applies in remote Indigenous communities’13. He also notes that the absence of land use planning regimes: • Inhibit construction projects that will benefit a community. • Impede forward planning for the provision of infrastructure. • Limit private investment and opportunities for commercial development and home ownership. It is in this broader land reform context that governments committed, under the NPARIH, to the progressive resolution of land tenure issues on remote community-titled land to secure government investment and provide opportunities for commercial investment, economic development and private home ownership. They agreed to review their legislative and administrative arrangements to identify any impediments to the provision of standardised tenancy management and the transferability of individual titles to facilitate home ownership, attract commercial investment and support economic development. Before social housing construction begins in a community secure, tenure through leases or equivalent mechanisms must be in place. The aim is to secure tenure for a minimum of 40 years to give governments certainty of control over social housing assets for the long term. It establishes much clearer responsibilities for governments to manage and maintain those assets to public housing standards for the duration of the lease. It underpins tenancy management agreements between a state or Northern Territory housing authority and tenants, based on the relevant residential tenancy legislation. This in turn provides greater certainty for tenants that they will be suppo...
