Virginia Hill, Bendigo
We’re building 129 modern, comfortable and energy-efficient homes at Virginia Hill, Bendigo. This includes a mix of one-, 2-, and 3-bedroom homes and at least 5% of the new social housing homes will be easy to access for Victorians with disabilities. We know that the Bendigo community needs more high-quality social and affordable housing. The Virginia Hill neighbourhood in Eaglehawk has been identified for investment as part of the Big Housing Build. The new homes will be located within new streets and open public spaces that better respond to the community’s needs. A master plan was developed to help shape the vision for the Virginia Hill site. Community consultation as part of the master planning process has helped inform the early plans of the Virginia Hill Big Housing Build. Community consultation on the proposed project designs is planned for 2025.

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 new homes deliver the best possible outcomes for the Eaglehawk community.
The Victorian Government is delivering quality social and affordable homes across regional and rural Victoria for those who need them most.
