The townhouses are ready to welcome tenants and families most in need of housing support.
28 August 2023
Construction is now complete on 30 new public housing homes in Calwell.
The townhouses are ready to welcome tenants and families most in need of housing support.
The 30 two- and three-bedroom townhouses are built to Class C Adaptable standards. This means they can be easily adapted to meet changing accessibility needs and support tenants to remain at home as they grow older.
The new homes are located close to schools, shops, services and transport.
They add to the category of public housing in highest demand – with approximately 80 per cent of all housing applicants able to be housed in a two-bedroom dwelling.
Construction took less than nine months for this project, which began in November 2022.
The project is a positive example of government and industry collaborating to deliver for the community.
More than 500 homes have been delivered under the ACT Government’s commitment and another 700 homes are currently underway in design or construction.
This is another step towards providing more people in need with safe, secure public housing.
