Repairs to Aboriginal social housing underway in Murdi Paaki

The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) will be delivering backlog repair and maintenance works to Aboriginal social housing properties across the Murdi Paaki region as part of the Murdi Paaki Aboriginal Region Housing Program (MPRAHP). 

Tenants in the region whose homes are scheduled to be part of the program will be contacted by their housing provider.  

Work may include improvements to:

  • fixtures
  • fittings
  • flooring
  • painting
  • other essential maintenance.

The timeframe for work to be completed on each property will vary, but should take 1-6 weeks.

What to expect if your home is part of the program

  1. Housing provider will contact you to share information

    Detailing the work and expected timelines, then agree on a date for property scoping.

  2. AHO builders do an initial walkthrough on agreed date

    To scope out property. Works will start within 6 months of this assessment.

  3. Repairs take place

    Upgrade work should take between 1-6 weeks to be complete.

For other repairs and maintenance 

This program is specifically targeting backlog repairs and maintenance. For all other needs, details for who to contact are on our repairs and maintenance page.

About the program 

As part of the Murdi Paaki Aboriginal Regional Housing Program (MPRAHP), the Murdi Paaki Regional Assembly (MPRA) and the NSW Government are collaborating through the Regional Aboriginal Housing Leadership Assembly (RAHLA) to enhance social housing for Aboriginal people in the Murdi Paaki region. 

Over 7 years, the program will deliver work to over 1,000 properties across the Murdi Paaki Region. 

The program will improve homes and prevent them from becoming unusable. For Aboriginal tenants, this means improved quality of home, health and safety. For Aboriginal communities across the region, the program will deliver employment, skills and capability uplift.
