Overview

The Homelands Program supports the delivery of housing, municipal and essential services to eligible homelands, town camps and selected communities.

The purpose of HMS is to contribute to repairs and maintenance to eligible houses, including:

• responding to life threatening electrical, gas, fire and structural safety issues

• general or routine repairs and maintenance to extend the life of houses and minimise deterioration.

Municipal and Essential Services (MES) includes repairs and maintenance, minor works and general operational costs for the delivery of municipal and essential services. Essential service activities are primarily concerned with the operation and maintenance of electricity supplies, water supplies and sanitation systems. Municipal service activities are primarily concerned with road and aerodrome maintenance, waste disposal, landscaping and dust control in common areas, firebreaks, animal control, environmental health activities and other municipal services. The delivery and planning for general housing repairs and maintenance should be based around the 9 Healthy Living principles.
