There will be another 25 new townhouses built in Whitlam through the Housing ACT Growing and Renewing Public Housing Program.
The program builds new public housing in the ACT, and this development is one of its largest.
It will include a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. This variety makes the development suitable for a range of household types – from families through to single households.
The townhouses will be built by Supply Nation accredited builder Projex Building Group.
They will all be Class C adaptable, which means they are suitable for people with a disability and allow people to age in place.
They can also be easily modified over time, should the needs of tenant change.
Providing more homes will have a significant impact on public housing waitlists.
As of 30 June 2024, 614 homes have been built and 176 homes purchased under the Growing and Renewing Public Housing Program.
A further 482 homes are currently under construction, being designed, awaiting development application approvals or in a procurement process to secure builders.
