Banksia Gardens, Broadmeadows

Status icon Construction
Tag icon New building

We’re delivering new modern, well-designed, and energy efficient social housing in Banksia Gardens. We’re also preparing a master plan that will set the vision for the longer-term renewal of the Banksia Gardens neighbourhood.  

The Banksia Gardens development will deliver a landmark integrated development of an underutilised site to provide approximately 120 new social homes.   

The project is jointly funded through the Australian Government’s Social Housing Accelerator and the Victorian Government’s Big Housing Build.    

We received planning approval for the new homes in May 2024. We prepared a consultation report as part of this process, and it can be accessed in the resources at the bottom of this page.

Master plan

The master plan will set the vision to guide potential future development of the neighbourhood including: 

  • Future housing opportunities   
  • Improved open spaces   
  • Making it easy and safe to get around the neighbourhood   
  • Improved connections with surrounding neighbourhoods and activity centres; and   
  • Spaces and places that support a thriving community in a vibrant and welcoming neighbourhood. 

Upgraded community sports facilities

Upgrades to the Banksia Gardens sports facilities are complete and ready for residents and visitors to enjoy.  

Upgrades include resurfacing the futsal pitch, installation of new futsal goals, a new half basketball court, lighting, CCTV cameras, a shelter and seating for spectators, improved drainage and landscaping.  

The investment is an initiative of the Banksia Now working group, part of the Broadmeadows Suburban Revitalisation Board, in partnership with the Victorian Government, Hume City Council, and Banksia Gardens Community Services.  

The upgraded sports facilities are more accessible, safer and more enjoyable for the Banksia Gardens community to connect and play.
