You could also call this:

"Government houses for people helping with wildlife"

The Minister can let people live in houses on land owned by the government for the purposes of the Wildlife Act. You might be an employee of the Department, a Fish and Game Council, or someone else the Minister chooses. The Minister decides how much rent you pay and what rules you must follow, but they must also follow the Tenancy Act 1955 and get approval from the Public Service Commission for some decisions.
