Landmark $4 billion investment for remote housing in the Northern Territory to help Close the Gap
The Federal and Northern Territory Governments have announced a landmark joint $4 billion dollar investment for housing in remote communities across the Northern Territory to help close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
The Prime Minister made the announcement during a visit to community of Binjari, near Katherine in the Northern Territory.
The 10-year commitment to improve remote housing will see up to 270 homes built each year, with the goal of halving overcrowding. It also includes continued support for repairs and maintenance.
