Aboriginal Community Housing Ltd


ACHL Community Development Strategy

Building strong and durable partnerships in community,

government and private spheres

Strengthening Aboriginal communities’ influence or

voice by enabling residents’ opportunities, aspirations

and sense of possibilities

Place-based engagement on agreed projects ensuring

community ownership of issues and solutions

Improving the dialogue, flow of information and

connections between Aboriginal communities and ‘the

outside world’ including Government and the broader

Australian community


Engage and assist remote and regional Aboriginal communities to develop greater sustainability and less reliance on

government funding through a community development approach that is strengths-based, through:-

Approach to Community Based Housing

ACHL engages with communities wishing to develop a long-

term vision and business plan for sustainability

Analysis is undertaken of the family structures; mobility of

family members; educational and employment

prospects/potential for community members

Analysis is undertaken of resource requirements in terms of

manpower and infrastructure of business opportunities to

realize the community vision

With the agreement of relevant communities where

appropriate, ACHL is pursuing the transfer of leases from

State Governments and assists other communities with the

supply of housing services where leases and agreements

remain in place


Approach to Community Based Housing

A new tenure structure is being researched around the combination of stable community members and the migratory patterns of mobile community members to capture necessary income for community and household well-being

Additional income derived from business development and housing services can be utilized to generate employment in maintenance and equivalent of municipal services

Participating communities are advised and supported in establishing business ventures that are identified in their Plan

Communities are being trained in maintenance and could be in housing construction with capital grants sought to assist housing development

Alternative tenure options are being developed such as home ownership where people wish to pursue such options
