Benalla West
We’re delivering new social and affordable homes in Benalla West.
The Benalla West Stage one project is part of the Big Housing Build and will provide 48 new homes along with upgrades and improvement to public spaces in the neighbourhood.
The new homes will be a mix of housing types, including social and affordable. Each home will have a low maintenance private open space which will be able to be adapted to suit the needs of the renters.
Waminda Park will be upgraded and made safer, with some new homes facing onto the park, and new play facilities for children.
A draft master plan was developed to help shape the vision for the Benalla West site.
Community consultation as part of the master planning process has helped shape the plans for the Benalla West Big Housing Build.

Community consultation
Engagement is at the heart of our planning and design process. Consultation with stakeholders and the community will help to shape the project. This will ensure the improvements to the neighbourhood and future homes deliver the best possible outcomes for Benalla West.
In 2019 and 2020, we consulted with the community on future key directions for the Benalla West neighbourhood to help shape the draft master plan.
In late 2023, we asked the community for feedback on the Benalla West draft master plan and Stage one of the project. The next phase of community consultation will take place in May 2025.
Community consultation
Engagement is at the heart of our project. We have consulted with stakeholders and the community throughout the project to understand their needs and to make sure that the master plan delivers the best possible outcomes for Benalla West.
We consulted with the community on future key directions for the Benalla West neighbourhood
Some of the key themes we heard were that:
- The community have a desire for good natural light, energy efficiency and private outdoor space.
- The community would like to see open and safe places for children to play, as well as picnic and sheltered areas.
- New connections will improve movement around the neighbourhood.
- Lighting is seen as key to people feeling safe.
Community committee
Established in February 2020, the Benalla West Estate Community Committee, provides residents and community groups the opportunity to take part in the project and provide detailed feedback.
