Having committed to a 42 per cent Aboriginal employment target, contractors will design, construct and install the housing while residents have had input into the types of housing in their communities through the Local Decision Making process.
The houses, which are modular designs, provide an alternative to on-site construction and offer flexibility in delivery and ongoing transportability.
More than 130 homes funded by a previous $68 million investment in this model of housing are now rolling out to 24 remote communities across the NT.
