“It's great having services like Homes NSW here today because they get to engage with community and get feedback from people” This year, we were proud sponsors of Woolloomoolivin’, the annual festival of urban arts and culture in Woolloomooloo in Sydney’s inner city. 🎉 Since its start in 2016, this vibrant festival has become a beloved event, drawing people and families from all over. Our team loved connecting with the community at our stall, where locals shared their pride in Woolloomooloo’s diversity and contributed ideas on neighborhood improvements using our interactive post-it boards. It was a fantastic opportunity to engage the community on what makes the area so special, and how we can make it even better. It’s all part of our work to deliver quality homes and services that change lives and end homelessness. #HomesNSW #Woolloomooloo #CommunityEngagement #SocialHousing

Today we welcomed His Majesty King Charles III to our landmark social housing development in Cowper Street, Glebe 👑 Developed in partnership with The King's Trust Australia – who provided design and consultancy services to support us reaching a six-star green rating and incorporate a cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure that was produced sustainably in Australia – the project will provide a home to around 130 people once complete. Joined by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Minister for Housing Rose Jackson, His Majesty toured the construction site and met current social housing tenants and three young apprentices participating in The King’s Trust Australia’s new four-week ‘Get Into Construction’ training program. The Glebe project – being delivered by Kane Constructions Pty Ltd with social housing tenancies to be managed by Bridge Housing Limited – is comprised of 75 modern social apartments and terrace houses. Designed by Sydney architectural firm JOHNSON PILTON WALKER PTY LTD, the project complements the historical Victorian-era architecture unique to Glebe and the surrounding wool store buildings.

🎉 Celebrating our Good Design Australia Award for Good Design for Social Housing, recognised in the Social Impact category. With roots dating back to 1958, the Australian Good Design Awards are the country’s most prestigious international accolade for design and innovation. This years’ theme, ‘The Design Effect’, underscores the crucial role design plays in shaping better products, services, spaces and experiences. 🥰 Developed in partnership with Government Architect NSW, Good Design for Social Housing explains the relevance of good design for social housing and what’s important when new homes are designed and built. They are used throughout the development lifecycle by project teams, delivery partners and our stakeholders to achieve important design goals including tenant wellbeing, a sense of belonging, better outcomes through collaboration, and better value for the people of NSW. The Australian Good Design Awards jury noted: “By prioritising tenant wellbeing throughout the development lifecycle, this initiative ensures that social housing projects meet the needs of residents effectively." “The integration of design goals with practical delivery realities demonstrates a strong commitment to enhancing living conditions and quality of life for social housing tenants.” Good Design for Social Housing continues to be an important part of our work to deliver quality homes and services that change lives and end homelessness.

We're getting people off the social housing waitlist and into new homes 🙌 Our recently completed project in Fairfield, Western Sydney - the traditional land of the Cabrogal people - saw the transformation of ageing cottages into 4 modern two-bedroom homes, soon to welcome 9 new residents. One of the first projects delivered under the Social Housing Accelerator Fund (SHAF), this is a great example of what is possible when state and federal governments work together to address the housing crisis. This is just the start, as we will be delivering 400 social homes through SHAF support – with $610m invested in fast-tracking new housing across regional and metro NSW. We’re also setting the standard for how social housing should look – considered, contemporary, indistinguishable from private housing. It’s all part of our work to deliver quality homes and services that change lives and end homelessness. #SocialHousing #HomesNSW #SHAF #AffordableHousing

Sharing insight and expertise at the recent prefabAUS OFFSITE 2024 conference 💡 As well as our very own Michael Wheatley, head of Housing Portfolio at Homes NSW, providing the latest updates on our $10m MMC program and taskforce, we also hosted a working group on building the industry and the journey to adoption. The focus was on addressing the housing crisis, collaboration, intellectual property as well as lessons learnt and perceptions. We heard about: 👫 The shared drive to address the housing crisis and affordability, create a sustainable construction industry and to provide shelter for all Australians. 🤝 The barriers to delivering value and quality in the MMC space including the lack of pipeline, scale and understanding of different offsite methods. 🔨 The wealth of innovative ideas and solutions on building the industry, including platforms to share lessons learnt, micro credentials and design for manufacturing and assembly courses. 🏘 The opportunity that display homes and villages present to showcase the quality, functionality, and beautiful designs to address negative perceptions.
