To ensure the housing is affordable applicants must not pay more than 30% of their income.  Waverley Council also requires that applicants must have a minimum of three years living in the Waverley LGA. You are also eligible if you currently live outside the Waverley LGA and can demonstrate that you have lived in the LGA for a total of five years (non-consecutive) over the past ten years.
