Aboriginal Land Act 1991

This section applies if a dwelling is situated on available land the subject of the application.

The trustee must give notice about the application to the housing chief executive.

Within 28 days after receiving the notice, the housing chief executive must give the trustee a notice (a dwelling notice) stating whether—

the dwelling is a social housing dwelling; and

if the dwelling is a social housing dwelling—the housing chief executive consents to the applicant making the application.

In deciding whether to consent to the applicant making the application, the housing chief executive must have regard to whether it would be more appropriate in the circumstances for the dwelling to continue to be social housing.

If the dwelling notice states the housing chief executive consents to the applicant making the application, the trustee must decide the price of the dwelling—

by agreement with the housing chief executive; or

by using a methodology agreed between the trustee and the housing chief executive.

The housing chief executive must, if asked, give a person a copy of the methodology.
