The Ground Lease Model Project will build brand new social housing dwellings, affordable homes and market rental homes, including Specialist Disability Accommodation dwellings.
Public land will be leased to the not-for-profit project company (Project Co) who will finance, design, construct and manage the sites for 40 years, before handing all dwellings back to Homes Victoria. At the end of the lease, the land and all 1,110 dwellings will come under the management of Homes Victoria.
