HOUSING PLANS
IN NEW SOUTH WALES. £BOO TYPE OF HOME AS UNIT. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) SYDNEY, June 16. “By the end of this year, New South Wales will be short of more than 80.000 houses. The cost involved will be about £40,000,000— less than one month's Australian expenditure on the war,” said Mr H. B. Nolan, chairman of the State Housing Commission, giving evidence before the Commonwealth Housing Commission. Mr Nolan advocated a ten year home building plan, houses to be constructed at the rate of 5,000 a year, and suggested that any surplus from the War Damage Compensation Fund might be applied to housing. He considered that the £BOO type of home should be the unit in Australia’s post-war rehousing scheme, but pointed out that basic wage workers could not afford to pay for such a home.
