It must also be noted that the relocations are subject to housing legislation and State-housing requirements. The accommodation for relocates would be informed by their housing status as per the Housing Needs Registrar.

 

The City does not support queue-jumping and is careful to objectively apply housing laws, which outline emergency accommodation alternatives where there is health and safety risk to people who have settled on land that is not appropriate for housing, such as under power lines, on railway lines, in wetlands and on flood plains. 

 

The City will provide updates on further developments and thanks the communities and implementing partners for the progress that has been made.
