The last point is about the definition of affordability. The Bill refers to market value. How will the LDA measure affordability? In the regulations that come from the Department, I imagine there will be income criteria and assessments of affordability through ministerial regulation, as well as in the policies of the LDA and the policies of the affordable housing agencies and councils it works with.
