Spotlight on: Community Housing (Vic) Ltd (CHVL)
Housing Australia and Community Housing Limited (CHL) are collaborating to enable construction of 20 purpose-built social homes at Lynbrook to support Victorians in Melbourne's south-east.
With an expected completion date of November 2025, the development will provide 3 x one-bedroom apartments, 14 x two-bedroom apartments and 3 x three-bedroom townhouses in an area with growing demand for affordable housing.
To support those most vulnerable in the area, 75% of the homes will be allocated to priority access tenants on the Victorian Housing Register.
Enabled by a combined investment of $23.17 million, funding includes $12.88 million from the HAFFF and NHAF, $2.8 million from the Victorian Property Fund, $5.37 million from Treasury Corporation of Victoria and $2.12 million in co-contributions.
As the landowner, CHL in Victoria is leading the delivery of this critical project, supported by construction partners Carringvale Constructions Pty Ltd. On completion of the development, CHL will retain ownership and provide ongoing property and tenancy management, community development and support to residents.
In addition to providing homes for Victorians that offer stability and access to specialist support services for its residents, the project is expected to create approximately 45 local jobs during the construction phase.
This initiative demonstrates the impact of coordinated investment and collaboration to deliver lasting housing solutions. It reflects Housing Australia's commitment to supporting vulnerable Australians through well-designed, community-driven infrastructure.
