About the Project
Holland Court, Flemington will be developed as part of the Victorian Government’s investment into social and affordable housing. The project will help tackle housing affordability by providing 286 new homes, including 50 social and 236 affordable homes. The development will also include quality public spaces that residents and the wider community can enjoy.
The new homes at Holland Court, Flemington will be delivered as an extension of the existing Ground Lease Model project at Prahran, Brighton and Flemington where Homes Victoria leases the land to project partner Building Communities, to finance, design, build, manage and maintain the new housing over a 40-year term. This means that all the land remains in public ownership. There will be no sale of public land.
Project update
We have now received planning approval from the Minister for Planning to deliver this important housing project.
The builder, ICON will continue securing and preparing the Holland Court site for construction to commence in 2024.
Once the new homes are complete, they will be managed by one of Victoria’s leading not for profit housing organisations – Community Housing Limited (CHL). CHL will be based at the site delivering tenancy management services and regular maintenance, along with community development programs.
Fast facts
The site at Holland Court is located just 5km from Melbourne’s CBD in the inner suburb of Flemington in the City of Moonee Valley. The 1.9ha site has land capacity to provide more homes for more Victorians, and is ideally positioned close to public transport, jobs, and community services.
City of Moonee Valley
The new homes at Holland Court will include a mix of one -, 2-, 3-bedroom homes to better meet housing demand in Victoria.
New homes at Holland Court will include specialist disability accommodation.
New social housing at the site will be more comfortable and less expensive to heat and cool with a 5-star Green Star rating, and 7-star NatHERS average rating.
A new 5,000sqm public park will be developed at the heart of the site, providing a quality green space for the community to meet, enjoy nature and play.
There will be a new cafe and mixed-use spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy.
The future Holland Court site will better integrate with surrounding neighbourhood, providing connections to Debney's Park, the future Flemington Hub and a local pocket park.
Community engagement
We asked the community to provide feedback on plans for the Holland Court, Flemington housing site between 25 September and 23 October 2023.
Feedback received during the consultation period helped to inform our final plans to develop the site and we would like to thank everyone who took part in this process.
