Campbelltown. Community groups to get land title

Land title for public housing would be handed to community groups and opened to more affluent tenants in an attempt by the NSW Housing Minister, David Borger, to tackle poverty and social dysfunction in estates such as the Campbelltown suburb of Rosemeadow, the scene of recent riots, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Mr Borger wants to transfer title of public housing from the State Government to community housing managers so the properties can be used as equity for loans to develop the government land. The borrowed money would be used to build private homes and the proceeds ploughed back into the project.
