Our community housing development.

Currently there are hundreds of households across Bendigo who are waiting for community housing and a safe and secure place to call home. We hope this development will help to fill this need by providing a large number of highquality, modern, architecturally designed units.

Our development comprises of 73 new units at 24 Myers Street, through to 90 and 96 Mollison Street, on the under-utilised land around St Andrew’s Uniting Church.

The build includes 49 two-bedroom and 24 one-bedroom units over four to five levels close to a range of services and amenities including the city centre, public transport, supermarkets and parks.

All our apartments are now allocated, and residents are moving in soon.
