26 March 2024
A new 30-unit public housing development has opened in Tuggeranong and is ready to welcome tenants.
The unit complex is one of the largest public housing developments delivered under the ACT Government’s Growing and Renewing Public Housing program.
The program, launched in 2019, aims to deliver 1,400 renewed or new public homes by mid-2027, which will increase the total number of public housing in the ACT by 400.
The new homes cater to a wide range of needs and are Class C Adaptable, making them suitable for people with disability and people as they grow older.
The development features an onsite playground and a range of unit sizes, from one-bedroom to four-bedroom.
They have each been completed with above-standard energy efficiency ratings, to provide tenants greater comfort and increased affordability.
The development is located close to shops, services and transport, as well Lake Tuggeranong and surrounding parks, allowing residents easy access to Tuggeranong’s outdoor spaces.
The ACT has the second-highest proportion of public housing out of any jurisdiction in the country.
The ACT Government’s Growing and Renewing Public Housing program is on track to meet its targets.
More than 640 homes have already been built or bought, and another 577 are in the construction pipeline.
