1. Total Federal Government funding received by the Northern Territory Government in 2004/05 was $41,679,000. This comprised:
Aboriginal Rental Housing Program (ARHP) $19,690,000
Additional ARHP $4,730,000
The Territory funds essential services provision (power, water and sewerage) to 72 major communities (Attachment A), which is approximately 80% of NT remote Indigenous communities population. In addition, the Territory funds the provision of power and water in 28 outstations and water only in a further 4 outstations, through historical and exceptional arrangements with the Australian Government.
The Australian Government directly funds essential services provision in approximately 630 outstations and smaller communities (approximately 20% of NT remote Indigenous community’s population).
Questions relating to Federal Government policy and funding should be referred to my Federal counterpart. The Australian Government provides in the order of $60m per annum to Australian Government funded NT communities.
