  • Car-free where practical
  • Located close to public transport
  • Designed to support community
  • Only sold to owner-occupiers and community housing providers
  • Designed to reduce operating costs
  • Sold via a ballot
  • 20% priority ballot to key services workers, Indigenous Australians, people with a disability, carers, and single women over 55

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the people of the Eastern Kulin Nations as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
