Project Summary:
This development saw the demolition of one existing social housing property and the subdivision of the site into four allotments allowing the construction of two x two-bedroom and two x three-bedroom social housing outcomes (rented to eligible tenants at up to 25 per cent of their income).
The 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. All homes have been landscaped with drought-tolerant native plant selections and mulch to maximise water sustainability and minimise the requirement for maintenance. All homes have been fitted with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a 3.7kW solar photovoltaic system to minimise tenant energy costs.
