Area Boards


The main purpose of Area Boards is to facilitate decision-making and to provide opportunities for tenant involvement at an area level. Area Boards are an important mechanisum for monitoring local performance against service standards, including for example rent arrears and repairs performance.

Your Homes Newcatle has three Area Boards covering the city - East, Inner West and Outer West & North.  The membership of each area board is made up of one third city council nominees, one third elected tenant members and one third appointed independent people.  To find out who the current area board members are, please click on the following links:

Area Board meetings are open to the public.  Meeting dates are publicised in Homes + People, local community housing offices as well as on the internet.

Members of the public can ask questions of the Area Board. Questions should be sent in writing to the Area Board Director, no later than 48 hours before the start of the meeting. All questions should include the name and address of the questioner.
