Rent calculation changes

Changes to the way the Northern Territory Government calculates urban public housing rent came into effect on 4 December 2023.

As of this date, all eligible urban public housing tenants, including Alice Springs town camps (excluding Ilpeye Ilpeye) will have rebated rent calculated at 25 per cent of assessable income.

Policies

The increase in rent collected will be used to repair and maintain the Territory’s public housing dwellings.
