The GEHMF comprises the policy document and a suite of supporting guidelines. The GEHMF policy document incorporates customised requirements based on other Queensland Government policies, including the Capital Works Management Framework (CWMF) and the Maintenance Management Framework (MMF).
In regional, rural and remote locations where there is no viable rental market to support employees’ accommodation requirements, government employees may be housed in residential properties owned or leased by the Queensland Government. Individual government departments control and administer government employee housing portfolios, therefore consistent practices need to be in place to facilitate efficiencies in the management of these portfolios.
The GEHMF promotes a consistent approach to the planning and management of government employee housing necessary for achieving effective management of these buildings. The GEHMF addresses consistency, maintenance standards, safety and security, and will facilitate efficiencies for government employee housing through consolidation of responsibilities for building maintenance and capital works project and program delivery.
The GEHMF was approved by Executive Government in November 2009. It applies to all government departments that control or administer government employee housing portfolios.
