New Street Terraces
New Street Terraces, Latrobe
About the project
Our New Street Terraces development in Latrobe will deliver six energy-efficient social housing homes, increasing the supply of priority social housing in north-west Tasmania and supporting long-term housing stability.
The project is being delivered in partnership with Homes Tasmania, with funding through the Australian Government’s Social Housing Accelerator Program.
Designed by Core Collective Architects and built by Tas City Building, the development comprises four one-bedroom and two two-bedroom homes. Landscaping has been designed by SBLA Studio.
All homes are designed to achieve more than an 8-star NatHERS rating and will include private courtyards, secure storage and on-site car parking.
The development also includes shared gardens and raised vegetable beds, providing spaces for residents to connect with their neighbours and participate in gardening activities while maintaining their own private outdoor spaces.
The New Street Terraces development is expected to be completed in September 2026.
What is community housing
Community housing is owned or managed by non-government, not-for-profit, registered housing agencies like Housing Choices. We partner with a range of support services and community organisations, enabling us to meet the immediate and longer-term needs of our residents, so that they can thrive and maintain long-term tenancies.
The community housing sector is a long standing and vital component of the Australian housing system and receives government funding to help address affordable housing shortages across the country. Over 100,000 Australian households currently live in community housing-owned and managed homes with subsidised rent, based either on a discount to the market rent or as a percentage of household income.
Social housing involves some degree of rental subsidy and is an umbrella term for public or community housing. While community housing is run by not for profits like Housing Choices, public housing is owned by the state governments. Community housing providers are regulated by the state and hold specialist expertise in property development, property management, tenancy management and community development.
