Homes Tasmania Review

Tasmanian Government

The former New South Wales Auditor-General, Margaret Crawford PSM, will lead an independent review of Homes Tasmania.

Minister for Housing, Planning, and Consumer Affairs, Felix Ellis, welcomed the review.

"Homes Tasmania was established nearly two years ago to deliver housing, homelessness and crisis accommodation services for Tasmanians, and this review will look into how effective this has been," Minister Ellis said.

"Ms Crawford is an independent, experienced, and well-respected former Auditor-General of New South Wales who will lead the review, involving significant consultation with community and key stakeholders.

"This review will help to identify ways we can continue to efficiently and effectively grow our housing supply across Tasmania, a key part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future."

Homes Tasmania was established under the Homes Tasmania Act 2022 and commenced on 1 December 2022.

The review of Homes Tasmania will focus on:

* The effectiveness of the governance structures and processes of Homes Tasmania,

* the capacity of these structures to provide clear direction and efficient decision-making,

* the transparency and effectiveness of reporting mechanisms, including public reporting on the performance of Homes Tasmania,

* the role of Homes Tasmania in delivering housing, homelessness and crisis accommodation and services to eligible persons,

* the extent to which Homes Tasmania effectively engages with relevant sectors, providers, government agencies, and potential investors or partners, and

* any other matters relevant to governance, reporting and accountability of Homes Tasmania in delivering improved housing and homelessness outcomes in Tasmania.

Minister Ellis said a final report with recommendations for consideration will be tabled in the Parliament following the completion of the review.
