Applications now open for new affordable rental homes in Heidelberg West

Homes Victoria is delivering more affordable rental homes for eligible Victorians and helping to close the gap in housing affordability.

A mix of brand new one,-2 and 3-bedroom affordable homes are now available at the Tarakan St Big Housing Build site in Heidelberg West, ideally positioned close to shops, transport and workplaces.

All homes are modern, energy efficient and offer a three-year lease set at below market rent. 

All Homes Victoria affordable homes start affordable and stay affordable, which means:

• Rents will never be more than market rent with the added protection of a cap set at 30% of a median income. 
• A 3-year lease, with the ability for eligible renters to extend their lease for a further 3 years. 
• Rent will be increased annually, but no more than 5%.
• All eligible applicants have an equal chance of being offered an affordable home through our ballot process.
