Jumbun Limited manages all 26 residential houses in the Jumbun Community on behalf of the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC). This includes managing the tenancies, allocating properties, collecting rents, employing tradespeople to keep properties maintained, and supporting tenants/families sustain their tenancies.
Safe, Secure & Affordable Housing
Jumbun Limited provides an Affordable Housing Program for Aboriginal residents of the Jumbun Community. We have 26 residential properties. We do not provide emergency or crisis accommodation. All our tenancies are long term.
Setting of Rent
In most instances, Jumbun Limited offers subsidised rent to Aboriginal. Our rent is set at approximately 75% of “market rent” for rental properties of the same size in a nearby location. Our rent is usually adjusted at least once a year. Jumbun Limited rent calculations are different to public/government housing in Queensland where their rent is calculated on the details of assessable income for ALL household members. Our rent calculations are also lower than the local private rental market and local real estate agencies which charge the highest possible rent they can.
