I am advised:
(1) In response to Question 1:
The NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) maintains public housing properties through responsive maintenance repairs and planned maintenance programs. Responsive maintenance, including work arranged in response to calls from tenants to the contractor managed maintenance line, is delivered within timeframes detailed in the Asset Maintenance Services Contract, and prioritised through the criticality repairs matrix considering safety and risk. Information gathered through LAHC's regular Property Assessment Surveys is included in the preparation of planned and preventative maintenance programs. LAHC directly bases its maintenance expenditure on priority and need, and as such there is no maintenance backlog.
