Delacombe, Ballarat

Community consultation

Engagement is at the heart of our planning and design process. We are consulting with stakeholders and the community throughout the project to understand their needs and to make sure that improvements to the neighbourhood and future homes deliver the best possible outcomes for the Delacombe community.

Design principles

• The project will promote good design, make the most of open spaces, enhance the surrounding neighbourhood and create a strong sense of community.
• Environmentally efficient design, the homes will be more comfortable and less expensive to heat and cool. They will carry a 7-star NatHERS average rating.
• The redevelopment will include a range of housing types including one, 2, 3 and 4- bedroom homes, responding to the changing needs of households in Victoria.
• All new homes built by Homes Victoria as a part of the Big Housing Build will have a minimum Silver rating from Livable Housing Australia
• At least 5% of the new social housing homes will be easy to access for Victorians with disabilities. This includes drop-off areas, paths, lifts and car parking. Inside the home, kitchens, bathrooms and storage will also be very accessible.
