When former married quarters become vacant, their future use is considered in the context of ongoing military requirements, including the provision of Single Living In (SLI) accommodation for serving personnel. The provision of married quarters to serving personnel is no longer provided. This has been a long standing policy.

In relation to overholders, my Department continues to seek to regularise overholding matters without recourse to legal action where possible. The provision of housing for members of the public is a matter in the first instance for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government.
