Dan Andrews Instagram – A couple of years ago, we finished rebuilding 200 social and affordable homes in Ascot Vale.
80 homes had originally been built here in the 1940s – and 60 years later, they weren’t what they used to be.
We more than doubled what was there – and created energy efficient, accessible, well-ventilated homes.
And residents who lived there once before – like Omar and Abobeker – are back in the place they call home.
Now we’re doing it again.
We’re launching Australia’s biggest ever urban renewal project – and retiring and redeveloping all of Melbourne’s 44 ageing high-rise public housing estates by 2051.
Because simply put, these buildings just aren’t up to scratch anymore.
The cost of maintenance alone is huge, and a simple retrofit wouldn’t cut it.
Redeveloping these towers will mean every exisiting household, plus more, will move into a new home that meets every modern building standard.
And more Victorians will have a roof over their head – in high quality homes that they deserve. | Posted on 24/Sep/2023 13:22:27
