Dunlop Avenue, Ascot Vale

The gardens are landscaped with communal open spaces, seating areas, vegetable gardens and barbecue areas.

Each building has secure entry and a design that encourages and maximises sightlines and safety.

The project promotes good design. The Office of the Victorian Government Architect has reviewed the design proposal and provided advice.

We're responding to the changing needs of households in Victoria. The redevelopment includes a range of dwellings including 1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes.

The design is environmentally efficient. That means the homes are more comfortable, as well as less expensive, to heat and cool. They carry a 5-star Green Star rating and a 7-star NatHERS average rating.

At least 5 per cent of the new social housing homes are easy to access for Victorians with disabilities. This includes paths, lifts and car parking. Inside the home, kitchens, bathrooms and storage are accessible. 

All new homes built by Homes Victoria as part of the Big Housing Build have a minimum Silver rating from Livable Housing Australia.
