Warragul
Mason Street, Warragul
About the project
Our Mason Street, Warragul project is a four storey, architecturally designed, environmentally sustainable development above a partially raised basement at 8-18 Mason Street and unmade road to the rear of the property referred to as Paper Road. The housing development is delivered through a community housing model that supports residents and builds links with the community.
Mason Street is being developed under the Victorian Government’s $5.3 billion Big Housing Build.
Housing Choices has appointed award-winning architectural practice Freadman White and landscape architect Simon Ellis Landscape Architects to craft and deliver the project.
The 51-unit development will feature one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two separate residential buildings and include a basement, office and multi-purpose space on the ground floor.
The development includes 36 car spaces, 4 motorcycles spaces and 59 bicycle spaces. Our proposal has been informed by a professional team of architects, town planners, and engineers. It has been designed to respond to the planning regulations that apply to the subject land.
The development includes apartments designed to Livable Housing Australia Silver Level and has been designed to achieve 4 Star Green Star rating. All dwellings are designed to achieve an average of 7 Star NatHERS ratings with no individual apartment below 6 Stars.
The landscape design will feature native plants and an edible garden. Open spaces will provide dwellings with dual-aspect, natural light and cross-ventilation, while shared gardens, informal break-out spaces, open-air stairs, a bicycle workshop and shared spaces are designed to encourage community engagement.
The site is conveniently located in the heart of Warragul, close to the train station and a range of businesses and services. The project is now under construction and tracking to complete by June 2026. Once construction is complete, Housing Choices Australia will manage these dwellings on behalf of the Victorian Government.

What is community housing?
Over 20,000 Victorian households currently live in community housing-owned and managed homes. They are from all walks of life – single people, couples, young families, older women, newly arrived Victorians and people with disability.
The community housing sector is a long standing and vital component of the Australian housing spectrum, alongside public housing and private housing. ‘Social housing’ is an umbrella term that includes both public housing and community housing. It generally indicates housing that involves some degree of rental subsidy. In Victoria, public housing is managed by Homes Victoria. Community housing is owned or managed by non-government, not-for-profit, registered housing agencies like Housing Choices.
Community housing providers are regulated by the Victorian Housing Registrar and hold specialist expertise in property development, property management, tenancy management and community development. We provide safe and secure homes to those who live on low incomes, often with disability. We are committed under our charter to deliver safe, secure and affordable homes to low-income renters, help residents maintain stable tenancies, and ensure they have access to support services and live in communities that will improve their circumstances and life opportunities.
