Bluff Road, Hampton East
We are redeveloping the Bluff Road housing site to create more and better homes and quality public spaces for the Hampton East community.
This project replaces older-style dwellings with an integrated mix of 285 new social, affordable rental, market rental and specialist disability accommodation, bringing a 16% uplift in social housing to the site.
Delivered in partnership with Building Communities, the new one-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom homes will be complemented by new parks and landscaped gardens. There will also be space for a new café, social enterprise, multi-purpose community room, community garden, children’s play area, picnic area, civic space and an on-site community housing provider.
New homes at Bluff Road will be complete from late 2026 as part of the Victorian Government’s investment into social and affordable housing.

Project update
New homes at Bluff Road are being delivered through a Ground Lease Model, in which Homes Victoria leases the land to project partner Building Communities to finance, design, build, manage and maintain the new housing at the site for the next 40 years. This enables the land to remain in public ownership at all times.
Construction of the new homes is currently underway and expected to be complete from late 2026. The builder at the site is ICON.
Once complete, the homes will be managed by one of Victoria’s leading not-for-profit community housing organisations - Community Housing Limited (CHL). CHL will be based at the site delivering tenancy management, property maintenance services and community building programs.
Find out about community engagement events, new designs and works updates as they become available.
