What's happening in the precinct

What does the Big Housing Build mean for residents in social housing high-rise neighbourhoods?

This is Australia’s largest urban renewal project with a pipeline of projects between now and 2051. It will transform Melbourne’s high-rise social housing neighbourhoods, redeveloping 44 ageing high-rises and other buildings with modern, accessible and energy efficient homes and improved community facilities. Once completed, there will be at least 10% more social housing for Victorians who need it and more homes close to schools, services, transport and jobs.

This is a long-term project that will happen in careful stages. When it’s time to move, residents are given plenty of notice and help from our relocations team to find a suitable new home. This includes homes in your neighbourhood if you choose.

When new homes are built residents have the right to return to their neighbourhood based on their ongoing eligibility, needs and suitability of the new homes. You can also choose to stay in your new home if that suits you better at the time.
