About Queens Walk

Nestled in the heart of New Town Hobart, the Queens Walk infill development provides safe, secure and affordable housing that enhances community wellbeing. This exciting expansion honours the historic character of the original 1950s buildings while introducing modern, sustainable housing that fits naturally into the parkland setting.

Delivered by Housing Choices Tasmania in strong partnership with Homes Tasmania, the development represents Tasmania’s largest social and affordable housing project to date. It adds 38 one-bedroom and 27 two-bedroom apartments to the 84 existing homes that HCA has managed since 2013, bringing the total number of residences to 149.

Designed by Cumulus Studio and built by Tier 1 OFSC-certified builder Fairbrother, with landscape design by REALMstudios, the project features contemporary, energy-efficient homes nestled within a leafy, parkland setting. Communal gardens and gathering spaces have been purposefully integrated to enhance the natural amenity and support inclusive living.

Located close to public transport, sporting facilities, and walking and cycling paths, Queens Walk is ideally positioned to support livability, independence, and wellbeing for all its residents. The homes will be managed by HCA under a 40-year ground lease with Homes Tasmania, strengthening long-term housing security for low-income Tasmanians.

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.
