The provision of NHIF Finance is governed by the requirements and constraints of the NHFIC Act and the Investment Mandate made by the Treasurer under section 12 of the NHFIC Act. The Investment Mandate directs the NHFIC on the performance of its operations in a range of areas and specifies requirements in relation to the provision of NHIF Finance. NHIF Finance is not limited to financing infrastructure projects that support new affordable housing. An increase in the supply of housing generally may also attract NHIF Finance. This could include funding for infrastructure that supports the construction of mixed housing developments (which offer accommodation for people with a range of income levels).
