Riverwalk estate, Werribee
About the project
Our residential development within the Riverwalk Estate in Werribee delivered 18 environmentally sustainable, affordable homes, delivered through a community housing model that supports residents and builds links with the community.
Our Riverwalk Estate homes are being developed in partnership with Homes Victoria under the Victorian Government’s $5.3 billion Big Housing Build.
The dwellings are designed to Livable Housing Australia Silver Level and 7 Star NatHERS ratings.
Riverwalk Estate Werribee was masterplanned by Development Victoria and included two schools, a town centre, sports and recreation facilities and a community centre. The site is close to the Werribee shopping precinct, public transport, walking and cycling tracks, parks, and other services and amenities.
Our homes offered to applicants drawn from the Victorian Housing Register. Housing Choices is delivering both tenancy and property management services for the dwellings and our residents, as well as community-building initiatives.
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.
