Mr. David Walsh:
Again, that is part of the grant agreement. A local authority may well identify certain cohorts and allow for them qualifying. The approach we are taking to both State lands and affordability is that local authorities will identify potential to have realisable units that can be earmarked for use as affordable housing. In some cases, they may create a list and agree criteria with the developer to apportion units or they may set an affordable price to bring the units more broadly into the market.
