Another Housing Win for
the EBL Community
E
BL are excited to announce another housing win! That’s right, another
Unity Affordable Housing project is currently under construction in Blair
Athol, and is due for completion in September 2017. Delivering on our strategic
objective to provide affordable homes in sustainable communities, the project
redevelops existing stock, which is no longer appropriate, to the needs of
our tenants. The project has involved the sale of four obsolete dwellings and
reinvestment on a Renewing Our Streets and Suburbs (ROSAS) site. The work
is being delivered by Oryx Property in partnership with Unity, with the project
providing eight new housing outcomes. Each of these will be a mix of two
social housing properties for people living with a disability, two social housing
properties for large families and four general market housing.
At the completion of the project, Unity will replace four obsolete social housing
outcomes, sold to the private market as affordable housing to first home
buyers, with four new social housing outcomes that are more appropriate and
fit for purpose for persons living with
a disability or are aged, and for large
families on low incomes. Unity will also
have created four new properties sold
into the general market.
This is a great win for EBL and we are
excited by the opportunity it brings
to the EBL community.
