Appendix C: Debt Transactions
The Commonwealth holds a stock of around $3.5 billion in loans advanced to the States. The States make interest payments and repayments to the Commonwealth in respect of these loans.
The Commonwealth advances the States loans under a range of agreements. These advances have often been over very long repayment periods (some in excess of 50 years), although the terms of each agreement vary considerably.
Most of the interest payments and repayments relate to housing, including Loan Council housing nominations; Commonwealth‑State Housing Agreement loans; and the War Services Land Settlement Scheme. Repayments are also made against loans under agreements for infrastructure, natural disasters and other purposes administered by various Commonwealth agencies.
Total advances, interest and repayments from the States to the Commonwealth are shown in Table C.1.
