The Housing Act 2001 is under the control and direction of the Minister for Housing. The Act established the New South Wales Land and Housing Corporation as a body
corporate representing the Crown. The Corporation has no appointed members, being a statutory corporation, and the Director-General of the Department of Housing manages its affairs.
The Department and the Corporation act in a complementary manner to achieve unified administration of the Housing Act. The Department is an administrative division of executive government and the public service and employs all staff used by the Corporation. The Corporation holds land, buildings and other assets within the housing portfolio and is the entity through which all transactions occur.
The Executive Team has several roles:
- Determining the strategic direction of the Department
- Managing the operations of the Department
- Monitoring Departmental performance
The Executive meet as a team twice a month. These meetings provide a forum for collegiate decision-making under the authority of the Director-General. For further details on management structures and executive officers see the Appendices
