Project Summary:
The redevelopment of this site saw the demolition of one existing social housing dwelling and subdivision of the site into two allotments allowing the construction of two x four-bedroom social housing outcomes (rented to eligible tenants at up to 25 per cent of income).
Both homes were architecturally designed and have been certified at Livable Housing Design Guidelines Silver Level and SDA Improved Liveability to accommodate tenants living with disability. Both homes have been landscaped with drought-tolerant native plant selections and mulch to maximise water sustainability and minimise the requirement for maintenance. Each home has been fitted with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a 3.7kW solar photovoltaic system to minimise tenant energy costs.
